foreword s

ART BOSTON In bringing Juan Pablo Montoya to Boston, the Art Gallery of Boston offers an opportunity to see the work of one of the most significant interior designer of America’s “textures and fabrics.” Since 1978, he has made many amazing works. Now, he stands level with the leaders of his generation, the creator of a body of work keyed into the most subtle of contemporary dialectics and yet available to the least sophisticated viewer.

about One of the most acclaimed and prolific interior designers in the world today, Juan Montoya was born and spent his early years in Columbia. After studying architecture in Bogota, he moved to New York where he graduated from Parsons School of Design. Following two years of work and study in Paris and Milan, he returned to New York, where he founded the design business he has presided over since 1978. His firm specializes in residential and contract interior design, with projects located throughout the United States and abroad. He also designs and markets an extensive line of furniture. A member of the Interior Design Hall of Fame and a recipient of the honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design, his contributions to the field of interior design are widely recognized.

works A truly original thinker, Juan Montoya is not wedded to a particular style or period. Initially labeled a minimalist, his work has evolved dramatically since it first came to public attention in 1977. The great diversity found in Juan Montoya’s work notwithstanding, it is possible to trace the elements that constitute the Montoya look in all of his interiors. The exquisite juxtaposition of textures, colors and volumes, together with thoughtful attention to shadows, scale and spatial quality, result in interiors that exude refinement and elegant simplicity. Through the careful placement of objects that often reflect his interest in a variety of cultures, Montoya enhances the inherent qualities of a room.

fabrics& patterns “I consider myself a tailor who finds the best materials to clothe an interior in the appealing and comfortable way, down to the last detail.” - Juan Pablo Montoya

The most outstanding feature of his work is its eclectic nature that showcases elements from a multitude of established styles and cultures. Some cultures that inspire his work are those of Japan, Morocco, Scan-

dinavia and the Americas.

He feels that a house should have a clear aesthetic language and unfold in a logical progression. Whether it’s a pied-à-terre or palace, he pays attention to every decision, every gesture.
