  • The provincial Rietveld
    As part of its Rietveld Year, the Centraal Museum in Utrecht is presenting an exhibition called Rietveld’s Universe, an incredibly ambitious title for an exhibition that is far too modest in comparison. Under the leadership of Ida van Zijl, the work of Rietveld has once again been dusted down in an attempt to correct the prevailing historiography. To that end, the NAi, Utrecht University and Delft University of Technology jointly set up a research project with a view to defining more precisely the position of Rietveld in relation to the history of modern architecture. And in particular to alter the perception that his contribution is limited to that one famous house and that one famous chair.
