Ines Gavelli and Billy Prendergast from David Chipperfield Architects lead a tour focused on their special exhibition design for Lee Krasner: Living Colour.
Since it was founded in 1985, David Chipperfield Architects has developed a diverse international body of work including cultural, residential, commercial, leisure, and civic projects as well as master-planning exercises.
Within its portfolio of museums and galleries, projects range from private collections such as the Museo Jumex in Mexico City to public institutions such as the revitalized Neues Museum in Berlin. Practices in London, Berlin, Milan, and Shanghai contribute to the firm’s wide range of projects and typologies. The practice recently completed a refurbishment of The Royal Academy of Arts, London, and current work includes a new building for the Kunsthaus Zurich in Switzerland.
Join us for this special tour, centred on the exhibition design for our summer exhibition Lee Krasner: Living Colour.
Includes same day entry to the exhibition.
