Robert Wilson creates a kaleidoscopic stage for 140 chairs in Leipzig

Chairs shown in a scenography created by Robert Wilson in Leipzig at the A Chair and You exhibition.

Which chair would you prefer? A ‘Hairy’ chair made of a paper fur by Belgian artist Charles Kaisin, or a barbed wired version by Arik Levy? Bruno Munari’s simple, 1945 design, wittily named a ‘Chair for very Brief Visits’, or perhaps Frank Schreiner’s ‘Consumer’s Rest’, made of a cut and folded shopping cart? All these and many more are on display this summer at Leipzig’s Grassi Museum, as part of the ‘A Chair and You’ exhibition.
