Heidi Weber - 50 Years Ambassador for Le Corbusier 1958-2008 by Heidi Weber

From the summer of 958, when she first met Le Corbusier in Cap Martin, until today, Heidi Weber has worked tirelessly to popularize his work. She was the first to have certain pieces of Le Corbusier's furniture industrially manufactured, she published his graphic works, and she organized countless exhibitions devoted to him. She even had Le Corbusier himself design a building especially for her collection: the Heidi Weber Museum (" La Maison de l'Homme" ) in Zurich, which opened in 9 7 it is the only museum in the world exclusively devoted to the great architect's work as a visual artist. This volume documents these fifty years of activity with illustrations of more than one hundred of Le Corbusier's works from Heidi Weber's collection, including paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, plans, and models. It not only tells the story of a woman of tireless commitment and vision it offers a fascinating synthesis of Le Corbusier's work as a visual artist in all its myriad facets.

Heidi Weber founded the furniture gallery Mezzanin Heidi Weber in Zurich in 957. Since 958, she has worked tirelessly to popularize Le Corbusier's work as a visual artist, exhibiting it since 9 7 at the Heidi Weber Museum in Zurich, which was specially designed for that purpose by the architect.
