"New Babylon: a world without borders flowing in all directions, allowing its residents to develop freely and flexibly. This fascinating architectural utopia was the brainchild of Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920-2005). Between 1956 and 1974, the Dutch painter and co-founder of the avant-garde movement Cobra worked in a range of mediums to depict his vision of the nomadic city of the future. The catalogue presents New Babylon and all its aspects: beautiful models, drawings, maps, paintings, watercolors, and collages interspersed with photographs, sketches, and other finds from his archive. The material offers extensive insight into utopian urban planning, highlighting to an even greater degree a mode of thought and imagination that proved to be a source of inspiration for many artists, thinkers, and architects"--Back cover.
