Furniture pieces by artists and designers such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Frank Gehry, Donald Judd, Jasper Morrison and others are seen in a new light--literally--thanks to a dramatic exhibition design by American director Robert Wilson (1941-2025). Conceived as an opera in four acts, \u003ci\u003eA Chair and You\u003c\/i\u003e is a succession of evocative atmospheres that articulate the sculptural presence of each object. To complement the exhibition, the corresponding catalog recounts the mise-en-scène of each staging and the dramaturgy behind it, while essays shed light on the project's inception and the close relationship between Barbier-Mueller and Wilson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thierry Barbier-Mueller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3037788127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037788127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Muller Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Thierry Barbier-Mueller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097289793791,"sku":"9783037788127","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-chair-and-you-thierry-barbier-mueller-9783037788127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
