VIEW BOWIE’S MEMPHIS GROUP COLLECTION ONLINE - “It's a very modern world...” - Back in October 2017, the @modernismmuseum) in Mount Dora, Florida, launched one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of Memphis Group art and furniture ever assembled. SPACE ODDITIES: BOWIE | SOTTSASS | MEMPHIS (which closes “early 2019”), takes a look at Bowie’s private collection of art and furniture by The Memphis Group, of which Bowie was an avid collector. Following his passing in 2016, his collection was auctioned off and gathered together for this exhibition. Not everybody would have had the chance to visit either the exhibition or the Sotheby’s auction from whence the Bowie pieces came. However, The Design Tourist has just posted a tour of these incredible objects with some interesting history of The Memphis Group. Watch the fifteen minute video here on you tube: http://smarturl.it/BowieMemphisGroupYT (Temp link on main page) FOOTNOTE: Our montage shows David Bowie sitting on his Palm Springs table in New York in 2009, as later pictured in GQ magazine. Here’s the original caption: “When I was five, I spent an awful lot of time reading and drawing on the living room table, just like this. I don’t want to follow this line of thought to the inevitable conclusion, but it does look as though all that I’m missing is a model train set. The table is by the peculiar Milanese design company Memphis and is probably made out of hardboard and old socks.” In fact the table is made of briar and plastic laminate. The piece on the left is called Casablanca, and both were designed by Ettore Sottsass PALM SPRING – 1984 - Ettore Sottsass: Table in briar and plastic laminate CASABLANCA – 1981 - Ettore Sottsass: Sideboard in plastic laminate with internal shelves No old socks were harmed in the making of the table. - #BowieMemphisGroup
