Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein

The Liechtenstein Art Museum is a radical new addition to the roll of outstanding museum buildings in Europe. «Black Box White Cube» is how author Hans Frei describes it, and indeed the building’s sharp profile is a monolithic presence in this cityscape in miniature. Inside, the gallery halls create a captivating interplay of light and space of exceptional and assured clarity. In a densely-packed photographic essay, Thomas Flechtner documents the feeling for volume and materials shown by architects Morger, Degelo and Kerez. The museum is the gift of a private foundation to the Principality of Liechtenstein.
