Maria Pergay’s retrospective, “Complete Works 1957 – 2010,” is the sole authoritative reference catalogue, compiled with Pergay’s own collaboration, tracing over fifty years of creation. It’s packed with detailed descriptions of over 300 designs, many accompanied by vintage and contemporary photographs that have never before seen the light of day. From the silver objects she first showed in 1957 to her celebrated Place des Vosges shop in 1960, and the moment her steel furniture exploded onto the scene at Galerie Maison Jardin in ’68, this is the definitive record of a singular vision. Now in her eighties, after a major 2006 New York show, she continues to create for an ever-growing, elite audience.
