Bernat Klein: Influence & Inspiration
—The name Bernat Klein has become synonymous with twentieth-century style and flair, and to mark his centenary three interrelated exhibitions are taking place across Scotland – in Glasgow at the Studio Pavilion and House for an Art Lover – and in the Scottish Borders at Borders Textile Towerhouse.
The Exhibitions:
'Bernat Klein: Influence & Inspiration' @ the Studio Pavilion from 16 March - 20 August
'High Sunderland: the restoration of a modernist house by architectural practice, Loader Monteith' @ House for an Art Lover from 16 March - 20 August
'Bernat Klein: Influence & Inspiration' @ Borders Textile Towerhouse from 16 March - 8 July
— Bernat Klein Foundation 2023
The exhibitions showcase new ideas developed by contemporary practitioners whose work is contributing to the continuation of Bernat Klein and his legacy in design, visual arts, and architecture. To illustrate his influence and inspiration, new work is presented together with original examples of Klein’s design and artistic practice.
