More information
This artwork, created by Gaetano Pesce, is an interpretation of the well-known Alvar Aalto Library in Vyborg, a masterpiece of the modern movement. The distorted shape symbolises the current poor condition and decay of the library. Gaetano Pesce's sculpture is produced in a series of 700 numbered copies, 100 of which are signed by the artist. Each numbered copy is an individual work of art and differs from all the others in shape and colour.
Artist
Gaetano Pesce was an Italian architect and designer who can undoubtedly be considered one of the most influential figures in the postmodern design movement. Through his groundbreaking approach and irresistible desire to break away from the strict ideals of modernism, Pesce shaped a new direction in design and architecture, where individuality and human emotion took centre stage. Pesce’s legacy lives on, not only through his groundbreaking works but also through the significant impact he has had on generations of young designers, who continue to be inspired by his courage to challenge norms and push the boundaries of what design can be.
