Mirjam Schwarz, Nuages Pendues (verso of n°7)

Mirjam and Willi were two young Swiss students from Basel Neighborhood who traveled Europe just after the end of the war, studying architecture, listening to Le Corbusier in Paris and participating to the Reconstruction Era. After the tragic death of Willi Menzi, circa 1954, Mirjam Schwarz interupted her drawing diaries. She married later architect Gorges Kinzel (1916-2000), the generous and altruist couple gave most of their collections and assets to Basel Kunstmuseum.

The e-bulletin presents articles as well as selections of books, albums, photographs and documents as they have been handed down to the actual owners by their creators and by amateurs from past generations.

The physical descriptions, attributions, origins, and printing dates of the books and photographs have been carefully ascertained by collation and through close analysis of comparable works.

When available, price are in eurost.
