AFMO WEEKEND IN PARIS Program Description DIOR SPECIAL Wednesday, October 16, 2019 // DIOR, a rare opportunity to visit their fabled archives, accessible only to the privileged few. SEVEN VISITS of the DIOR Archives are offered throughout the weekend. Each visit is strictly limited to ten guests and each guest may only register once. Please refer to the selection form to choose your day and time of visit. Since 1985, the head curator of the Christian Dior Archives, Soizic Pfaff, has been building out the venerable house’s archive of dresses, hats, shoes, original swatches, and even sketches of the first collection hand drawn by Monsieur Dior. Located off Avenue Montaigne in Paris, the archive is immaculately maintained. Its climate is kept at exact temperatures with controls for humidity and light. Closed off from the public at large, the archive exists for the study of Dior designers and their designs from the past until today. The pieces housed here are occasionally called up for exhibitions, just like the garments which were on loan for Christian Dior, Couturier Du Rêve, which was recently shown at The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. DAY 1 Thursday, October 17, 2019 // U.S. Ambassador's Residence The U.S. Embassy in Paris is the oldest diplomatic mission of the United States . The Department of State owns three buildings in Paris to support its diplomatic, consular, trade, and cultural activities: the Embassy of the United States of America in Paris, the Hôtel de Pontalba - also called Hôtel de Rothschild - and the Hôtel de Talleyrand-George Marshall Center. When Louis Visconti designed the urban mansion for the New Orleans-born Michaela Almonester, Baroness de Pontalba, it became known as the Hôtel de Pontalba. Edmond James de Rothschild acquired the building in 1876, he sold it to the U.S. government in 1948. It now serves as the official Residence of the Ambassador of the United States of America to France and Monaco. We are honored to be welcomed by Ambassador Jamie McCourt for the opening reception of our October Gala. AFMO WEEKEND IN PARIS DAY 2 Friday, October 18, 2019 // Musée de l'Orangerie, "Félix Fénéon (1861-1944). The Modern Times from Seurat to Matisse". Private visit with Curator Isabelle Cahn This is the first exhibition to pay homage to Félix Fénéon (1861-1944). As an unconditional supporter of Neo-Impressionism, discoverer of Seurat, artistic director of the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery, champion of Fauvism, Futurism and Matisse, he played a decisive role on the artistic scene of the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries. The exhibition brings together an exceptional array of paintings and drawings by Seurat, Signac, Degas, Bonnard, Modigliani, Matisse, Derain, Severini, and others, including pieces from Africa and Oceania. // Musée d'Orsay, "Degas at the Opera". Private visit with Curator Marine Kisiel To celebrate its 350th anniversary, the Opera national de Paris collaborates for the first time with the Musée d’Orsay for a major exhibition dedicated to Edgar Degas. Over the course of his long career, he devoted his work to immortalizing the Paris Opera’s daily life, from stage to backstage, from rehearsal rooms to the foyer. The dance world presented infinite possibilities allowing all manner of experimentations: multiple points of view, contrasts of lighting, the study of motion and precision of movement. Degas’ work offers an intimate portrait of the Paris Opera in the 19th century. Please enjoy the Wall Street Journal article on this exhibition: http://bit.ly/WSJ_Degas_Opera // Fondation Le Corbusier, Private Visit of Le Corbusier's newly re- opened studio-apartement Le Corbusier (1887 - 1965) was born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret and took the pseudonym in 1920. Private visit of Le Corbusier’s newly restored studio- apartment, which occupies the two upper floors of the Molitor building. Between 1931 and 1934, together with Pierre Jeanneret, he designed and built the space that was his home and studio throughout his life. Studio, apartment, guest room, and roof garden are exceptionally bright thanks to the glazed façades, courtyard windows, and skylights for which he employed the whole range of Saint-Gobain products, including their famous Nevada glass bricks. We continue with the private visit of Maison La Roche, the Foundation headquarters, commissioned in 1923 by Le Corbusier's friend and patron Raoul La Roche as a house with a gallery worthy to accommodate his collection of paintings.

The 19th- century is a landmark period of visual arts, as we move towards modernity. Please join us on this extraordinary journey. // Durand-Ruel: The first Impressionist art dealer. Private archives with art historian Flavie Durand-Ruel Flavie Durand-Ruel and Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel, descendants of legendary, innovative Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, take us back in time into the universe of the man, for whom "art came before any other consideration".

International recognition came quickly. Today, about 30 weavers work on 15 looms to produce six or seven tapestries a year. // Institut de France, 17th-century palace, home the five Academies, including the Académie Française Originally constructed by Cardinal Mazarin as a school for students from new provinces attached to France under Louis XIV, it became the Institut de France in 1795.

Ce village existait du temps de Charles Le Chauve. Ce village est simplement entré dans l’histoire à l’époque du duc de Chartres (1747-1793) futur duc d’Orléans 1785, père de Louis-Philippe, et connu aussi sous le titre de Philippe Egalité achète en 1769 la terre de Monceau au lendemain de son mariage avec la princesse de Penthièvre. Il achète le terrain (un hectare) en 1769 à Louis Colignon et lui confie en tant qu’architecte un pavillon octogonal, à deux étages, achevé en 1773. Par la suite furent ajoutées quatre galeries en étoile, qui prolongeaient au rez-de- Le Parc Monceau Page : 2 sur 16 chaussée quatre des pans, mais l'ensemble garda son unité. Colignon dessine aussi un jardin à la française c’est à dire arrangé de façon régulière et géométrique. Puis, entre 1773 et 1779, le prince décida d’en faire construire un autre plus vaste, dans le goût du jour, celui des jardins «anglo-chinois» qui se multipliaient à la fin du XVIIIe siècle dans la région parisienne notamment à Bagatelle, Ermenonville, au Désert de Retz, à Tivoli, et à Versailles. Le duc confie les plans à Louis Carrogis dit Carmontelle (1717-1806). Ce dernier ingénieur, topographe, écrivain, célèbre peintre et surtout portraitiste et organisateur de fêtes, décide d'aménager un jardin d'un genre nouveau, "réunissant en un seul Jardin tous les temps et tous les lieux ", un jardin pittoresque selon sa propre formule.

    The Architectural Practice of Gerard Wight and William Lucas from 1885 to 1894

    ABPL90382 Minor Thesis Jennifer Fowler Student ID: 1031421 22 June 2020 Boom Mannerism: The Architectural Practice of Gerard Wight and William Lucas from 1885 to 1894 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Urban and Cultural Heritage, Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne Frontispiece: Herbert Percival Bennett Photograph of Collins Street looking east towards Elizabeth Street, c.1894, glass lantern slide, Gosbel Collection, State Library of Victoria. Salway, Wight and Lucas’ Mercantile Bank of 1888 with dome at centre above tram. URL: http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/54894. Abstract To date there has been no thorough research into the architectural practice of Wight and Lucas with only a few of their buildings referred to with brevity in histories and articles dealing with late nineteenth-century Melbourne architecture. The Boom era firm of Wight and Lucas from 1885 to 1894 will therefore be investigated in order to expand their catalogue of works based upon primary research and field work. Their designs will be analysed in the context of the historiography of the Boom Style outlined in various secondary sources. The practice designed numerous branches for the Melbourne Savings Bank in the metropolitan area and collaborated with other Melbourne architects when designing a couple of large commercial premises in the City of Melbourne. These Mannerist inspired classical buildings fit the general secondary descriptions of what has been termed the Boom Style of the 1880s and early 1890s. However, Wight and Lucas’ commercial work will be assessed in terms of its style, potential overseas influences and be compared to similar contemporary Melbourne architecture to firstly reveal their design methods and secondly, to attempt to give some clarity to the overall definition of Melbourne’s Boom era architecture and the firm’ place within this period.
