The architect’s instantly recognizable works embody numerous sources and influences that he strategically sought out and refined over the course of his career. From mid-1960s Seidler’s hand became increasingly influenced by works of American abstract expressionist painters and sculptors: Alexander Calder, Norman Carlberg, Sol LeWitt, Charles Perry, and Frank Stella, evolving into a distinctly personal artistic language. The exhibit features 12 projects by Seidler and is presented through photographs, architectural drawings, videos, and images of the original sources of the architect’s inspiration.
