The Work
As an architect, urban planner and sculptor, Rob Krier has created a multifaceted oeuvre which is presented here in a comprehensive manner for the first time. After graduating, Krier first worked with O. M. Ungers and Frei Otto before setting up his own studios in Vienna and Berlin. He later taught at the Vienna University of Technology from 1976 to 1998 and as a visiting professor at Yale University in 1986. Drawing on a wealth of historical models and archetypal patterns, he developed new typologies of streets and public squares as an architect and urban planner, and was responsible for numerous urban development projects throughout Europe. These included the perimeter block development on Ritterstrasse for the IBA in Berlin, the residential complex on Breitenfurter Strasse in Vienna, the Kirchsteigfeld district in Potsdam, and numerous projects in the Netherlands.

Distant Prospects
Landscapes form a central core of the princely picture gallery, covering the entire span of the collection from the late 14th to the mid-19th century. If the landscape at first appears not as the actual theme of the work, but only a view, a background staffage, it subsequently acquires increasing weight as a genre in its own right, and enjoys its first golden age in the 17th century, most of all among the Flemish and Dutch painters. These same artists have been represented by incomparable major works in the Princely Collections ? the introduction to the 1948 Lucerne catalogue observes that ?the eyes of the princely collectors have always been aimed at Belgium and Holland both in the past and...
