EDITION HEIDI WEBER

From 1960 until his death in 1965, Le Corbusier created over fifty lithographs and engravings. During these 5 years, Heidi Weber realized - in cooperation with the renowed lithographer Fernand Mourlot - this extensive work. Numerous pages on display have appeared in the "Edition Heidi Weber, Zurich" several are still available from the AAA-online shop (catalogued in the special publication of "Le Corbusier - the Graphic Work")

Heidi Weber on the evolution of the graphic work:

”…Until his seventieth year, Le Corbusier was as a painter largely unknown and what I still find incomprehensible, also to a large extent unrecognized. So grew my wish to bring about the due recognition for the artistic work of Le Corbusier and to enable as many people as possible from all walks of life to see and come to terms with his work. I was able to make this desire a reality in two ways despite all of the obstacles and within a relatively short space of time: to built an exhibition pavillion in Zurich, his last building, which I was able to open it for the public in 1967 and which through the unification of Le Corbusier’s architecture, art and creativity was able to be experienced as one complete work; the other almost simultaneously, was the publishing house for the lithographs and engravings. By means of this printed edition, even young friends of Le Corbusier , who could not otherwise afford an oil painting, were able to pick up a work…”

Le Corbusier's lithographic oeuvre belongs to a long line of independent artistic productions that opens an era of exciting and highly aesthetic wall decoration.
