For more than 70 years Janette Laverriére has designed furniture and mirrored objects, which have managed to attain museal status in France. The starting point for this book is the wardrobe she designed for an actress in 1947, an early example of her exploration of the possibilities of and tension between the functional object and the independent artwork.
Using photographs of the work and installations, the catalogue documents room installations of the artist’s work, which has been intensely involved in the fundamental discourse on the terms art and design, applied art and functionality over the last few decades.
Alongside these historical and radical installations are contributions from Tobias Rehberger, Richard Artschwager, Nairy Baghramian, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Cosima von Bonin, Fischli and Weiss, Claes Oldenburg, Meuser, Martin Kippenberger, Carlo Mollino, and Franz West.

In 1831 Honoré de Balzac wrote a short story, “The Unknown Masterpiece,” in which he invented the abstract painting. Almost 200 years later, writer Ingo Niermann tries to follow in his footsteps to imagine a new epoch-making artwork. Together with the artist Erik Niedling he starts searching for the future of art and, seeking advice, meets key figures of the art world.
