Catalogue Note
La première chaise "Rouge et Bleue" est dessinée par Gerrit Rietveld en 1917-1923. Cet objet constitue une des premières explorations du mouvement artistique De Stijl en trois dimensions. Conçue initialement avec une finition en bois naturel, Rietveld lui donna ses couleurs par la suite, vers 1923, après avoir rencontré Piet Mondrian. Notre fauteuil fut exécuté en 1963 par Gerard van de Groenekan, collaborateur de Gerrit Rietveld dès 1924. Il est l'un des derniers exemplaires produit du vivant de l'artiste, avec l’accord de Rietvelt, qui l’offrit à Mr et Mme de Riege, parents de l'actuel propriétaire.
The first version of the Rot-Blauer Stoel was designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1917-1923. It represented one of the first three dimensional examples of the work of de Stijl group. Initially, the armchair was in natural oak and the designer added the painted finish after meeting Piet Mondrian. The present armchair was realised in 1963 by Gerard van de Groenekan, who had worked with Gerrit Rietveld since 1924. It is one of the last examples to have been executed while the artist was still alive and was offered by Rietveld to the parents of the vendor.
