Pilto, assistant curator for The Steins Collect, discusses how Sarah and Michael Stein's 1926 commission of a home by now-legendary architect Le Corbusier ushered in a new era of modern luxury. She addresses the villa's design as a purist work of art as well as how the Steins inhabited their home and played a significant role in advancing the cause of modern architecture. A Q&A follows the presentation.
Museum and program admission are free. Does not include entry to The Steins Collect.
