"As we celebrate our fifth year in the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, we want to mark this historical moment with a bit of history-making. Design is essential to our daily lives- its not confined to buildings and structures, but is part of how we live, work and play. FORM celebrates and advances the centrality of creative design in our lives."
(Raphaela Platow, Director and Chief Curator)
The CAC and the Formica Corporation have teamed up to commission a number of world-famous architects to create various pieces of fine art which, in one way or another, incorporate Formica into their designs. This exclusive auction features work by many renowned contemporary architects including Peter Eisenman, Michael Graves, Zaha Hadid, Thom Mayne, Bill Pederson, Laurinda Spear, Bernard Tschumi, Jaime Velez, Massimo Vignelli, and Buzz Yudel. The works are extremely contemporary, incredibly innovative, and range from $1800- $290,000.
