At the heart of L'Espirit Nouveau: Purism in Paris, 1918-1925 lies a single work: Le Courbusier's striking Pavilion de l'Espirit Nouveau, designed for the 1925 International Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris, at which the term Art Deco was coined." Published in conjunction with the traveling exhibition of the same name starting at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from April 29 to August 5, 2001.
