the petition for honoring denise scott brown postmortem for her contribution as seminal to her husbands' work, the exhibition on eileen gray in the centre pompidou in paris - honor to whom honor is due.
there was a kickstarter-project to fund a documentary on eileen gray's house E1027 and her relations and influence on le corbusier and others. unfortunately, there are far too little supporters for the time being. 20 days left!
In episode 7, season 6 of mad men, this chaise longue, officially designed by le corbusier, gets quite some attention. The influence of eileen gray is evident, the fact that the design actually comes from charlotte perriand, who worked for Le Corbusiers atelier, rather unknown. Behind every great man there is a great woman.
