| Ettore Sottsass Exhibit |
 |
|
   Friedman Benda will inaugurate the opening of its gallery with an exhibition of new work by architect/designer Ettore Sottsass.
It marks the culmination of a series of limited edition furniture and glass works that Sottsass has spent the last fifteen years designing which have rarely been shown outside of museums. The exhibition will be on view from September 19 to October 27 2007.
One of the most significant counter-forces to modernism in the history of design, the now 90-year old Ettore Sottsass has made monumental artistic contributions to every decade since his life in design began in Italy in 1945. His career has produced a provocative body of work, including architecture, furniture, industrial design, glass, ceramics, painting, photography and a wealth of writings.
