French Mid-Century Minimalist 'A16' Chandelier by Alain Richard for Disderot

About the Item

Important French Mid-Century Modern chandelier or pendant known as "A16" by Alan Richard for Pierrre Disderot that pre-sages the Minimalist movement of the 1970s and deconstructivist movement of the 1980s-1990s. The chandelier has a unique, Minimalist sculptural aesthetic featuring a light, transparent, floating sensibility. The piece is composed of sleek chrome stem with 12 perpendicular chrome arms, each holding a tubular white socket. Exposed white wires connect from the power source to the sockets and highlight the compelling sculptural appearance. Literature: See exhibition catalog enclosed in photos.
