LONDON HOUSE Adrian Sassoon and Stockholm-based gallery, Modernity are delighted to present their first collaborative exhibition. This catalogue illustrates striking contemporary ceramics, glass and metalwork from Adrian Sassoon’s impressive international artists, set in dialogue with Modernity’s elegant design classics from legendary Nordic furniture makers and designers. Staged within the extraordinary interior of a Palladian mansion, the dilapidated grandeur of 14 Cavendish Square provides a dramatic backdrop to the curation as stripped walls, exposed brickwork and rafters are juxtaposed with graceful period details.
SASSOON
the
E OF MODERNITY ‘We at Adrian Sassoon present works of art by established artists, makers and designers whose reputations are of the highest level. My background is as an antique dealer, specialising in French 18th century furniture and porcelain. When I first started presenting contemporary works of art about 30 years ago I wanted to show that their quality can be equally impressive, especially when displayed in the same manner as historic pieces. So, what could be better than displaying contemporary pieces, together with 20th century design, in a classic 18th century London mansion?’
