Gerrit Rietveld - Wealth of Sobriety

Wealth of Sobriety was first published in 2018. It is a large new book by photographer Arjan Bronkhorst. The book tells the story about architect Gerrit Rietveld and his relation with his clients. In over 500 pages and almost 400 photos a selection of 20  houses and interiors by Gerrit Rietveld are shown extensively. Now, there is an exhibit curated by Barry Bergdoll--Professor of Art History at Columbia University and former Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at the MoMA--traveling around the US.

The exhibition presents an opportunity to showcase some of Rietveld's work other than Schroder house and the red-blue chair, especially the house in Ohio designed by Rietveld. After the New York exhibition the show is available to other AIA galleries or museums in mid-September.
