More information

Niemeyer rose to prominence alongside Le Corbusier, but ultimately turned away from the hard, straight lines of traditional modernism. Instead, he forged a parallel path that mimics the crescendos and denouements of human feeling through swooping curves, graceful arches, and sensuous lines. Using reinforced concrete, he elevated the everyday to the sublime. Original sketches and photographs, along with contributions from Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, Frank Gehry, and Zaha Hadid, make OSCAR NIEMEYER a testament to the fantastic artistic journey he undertook over the past century.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
