Lot description
A rare and captivating architectural silkscreen on Rives BFK paper, created by the renowned American architect Robert Venturi in collaboration with Denise Scott Brown and John Rauch. Dated March 1987, this piece presents the Basement Level Plan for an Extension to the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London, an extraordinary conceptual work that reflects Venturi's postmodern vision of design, geometry, and human-centered space. Executed in crisp architectural linework with subtle tonal detailing, this print embodies the intellectual rigor and elegance characteristic of Venturi, Rauch, and Scott Brown's celebrated practice. The plan features an intricately labeled layout with a room key denoting galleries, lecture theatre, cinema, and related facilities, elegantly balanced with typographic precision. A fine example of late 20th-century architectural art, this work bridges the worlds of design and draftsmanship. Printed on high-quality Rives BFK paper, it's presented sideways as originally designed, emphasizing the architectural perspective and authenticity of the archival presentation. From The Bass Museum of Art Collection.
