Seit der ersten Begegnung mit Le Corbusier in Cap Martin im Sommer 1958 bis heute hat Heidi Weber sich f&#252;r die Verbreitung seines Werks unerm&#252;dlich eingesetzt. Sie liess etwa als erste gewisse M&#246;bel von Le Corbusier industriell herstellen, sie ver&#246;ffentlichte graphische Werke von ihm, sie veranstaltete unz&#228;hlige ihm gewidmete Ausstellungen. F&#252;r ihre Sammlung liess sich die Galeristin ein eigenes Haus von Le Corbusier entwerfen: das 1967 eingeweihte Heidi Weber Museum (&#8222;La Maison d&#8217;Homme") in Z&#252;rich; das weltweit einzige Museum, das ausschliesslich dem bildnerischen Schaffen des grossen Architekten gewidmet ist. Das Buch dokumentiert dieses 50j&#228;hrige Wirken mit Abbildungen von &#252;ber 100 Le Corbusier-Werken aus Heidi Webers Sammlung: Gem&#228;lde, Zeichnungen, Collagen, Skulpturen, Wandteppiche, M&#246;bel, Pl&#228;ne und Modelle. Es entsteht so nicht nur die Geschichte einer unerm&#252;dlich engagierten und weitsichtigen Frau, sondern auch eine faszinierende Synthese des bildenden K&#252;nstlers LC in all seinen Facetten.

From the summer of 1958, when she first met Le Corbusier in Cap Martin, until today, Heidi Weber has worked tirelessly to popularize his work. She was the first to have certain pieces of Le Corbusier&#8217;s furniture industrially manufactured, she published his graphic works, and she organized countless exhibitions devoted to him. She even had Le Corbusier himself design a building especially for her collection: the Heidi Weber Museum ("La Maison de l&#8217;Homme") in Zurich, which opened in 1967; it is the only museum in the world exclusively devoted to the great architect&#8217;s work as a visual artist. This volume documents these fifty years of activity with illustrations of more than one hundred of Le Corbusier&#8217;s works from Heidi Weber&#8217;s collection, including paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, plans, and models. It not only tells the story of a woman of tireless commitment and vision; it offers a fascinating synthesis of Le Corbusier&#8217;s work as a visual artist in all its myriad facets.
