PUBLICATION
Lectures on Art: Selected Conférences from the Académe Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture
Edited by Christian Michel and Jacqueline Lichtenstein
Translated by Chris Miller
Between 1667 and 1792, the artists and amateurs of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris lectured on the Académie's
conférences, foundational documents in the theory and practice of art that guided artistic practice and art theory in France and throughout Europe for two centuries. The lectures reveal what leading French artists looked for in a painting or sculpture, the problems they sought to resolve in their works, and how they viewed their own and others' artistic practice.

Coop Himmelblau Architectural Models and Drawings for Five Projects, 1983—1995
Finding Aid
The work of Viennese architectural firm Coop Himmelblau focuses on designing structures that reach from the ground skyward. With roots in theory and performance art, the firm developed experiments with structure and design process in the 1980s and 1990s, exploring architectural tectonics and the visual expression of tension through structural materials. They pushed their design process forward by cycling between sketching and modeling as well as sketching with their eyes closed. At the GRI, the collection comprises architectural models and drawings related to five international projects including Rehak House, Open House, and Anselm Kiefer Studios.
