Robert Wilson: Works for the Stage presents objects representing 50 years of Wilson's singular history as a theater director and designer, alongside a new design edition produced by Raisonné. The works in this exhibition include chairs, sculptures in glass, drawings, and other elements of Wilson's architectural vision for the stage.

This exhibition is organized on the occasion of Robert Wilson: Chairs, a comprehensive history spanning over five decades of Wilson's designs for the stage, published by Raisonné and August Editions and featuring over 40 original photographs by Martien Mulder.

In 1974, Robert Wilson designed a chair in industrial materials for A Letter for Queen Victoria, his first work for the stage with spoken text. Now, 50 years after the original production, Wilson has reimagined the Queen Victoria Café Chair in polished brass and plated steel, produced by Raisonné in an Edition of 10. The chair is an iconic example of Wilson’s economy of form, and a poetic juxtaposition of materials and theatrical context.
