Chair and You: Thierry Barbier-Mueller's Collection Staged by Robert Wilson

The sequel to The Spirit of Chairs reconfigures Thierry Barbier-Mueller\'s collection through a symphony of light, sound and staging by Robert Wilson. Conceived as an opera in four acts, the exhibition documented in this book brings to life the chair collection of Swiss entrepreneur Thierry Barbier-Mueller (1960 2023). Through the scenography of the renowned American director Robert Wilson (1941 2025), a succession of evocative atmospheres articulates the sculptural, singular presence of each piece. A Chair and You recounts the mise-en-scène of the exhibition. Image sequences convey its dramaturgy while original texts shed light on the exhibition's genesis, the close relationship between collector and director and the creative dialogue that shaped their project. AUTHOR: Zoé Barbier-Mueller (1994) is one of Thierry Barbier-Mueller's daughters. She serves on the board of Fondation Musée Barbier-Mueller and fosters her family's artistic legacy. 153 illustrations
