Futuristic Design meets Modern Art at TEFAF New York Spring
This year, Isabelle Bscher, who is the 3rd generation to lead Galerie Gmurzynska, brought on board yet another celebrated designer, the scenographer and creative director Alexandre de Betak.
Modern Art meets Futuristic Design. Galerie Gmurzynska meets Bureau Betak.
The artist created a futuristic, LED-design inspired booth for presenting important art pieces by the modern avant-gardes, including Alexander Rodchenko, Kazimir Malevich and Joan Miró. Alexandre de Betak, who has envisioned shows for fashion’s greatest such as Dior, Celine, Hermes or Calvin Klein, calls it “a brutalist yet minimalist and futuristic setting for a powerful art selection…”

“TEFAF has a great tradition of bringing together the best of design, antiques and art. So to have a fair of this caliber in New York City is very exciting”, says Isabelle Bscher. “Alexandre de Betak is an iconic stage designer who has created the most amazing environments, especially in the world of fashion. We always find it fascinating to have creative geniuses from other fields construct great surroundings for art. Alexandre has designed a compelling light grid, which juxtaposes modern and contemporary art.”
