Ron Arad – No Discipline at the MoMA NY

An amazing exhibit at the MoMA ended recently, Ron Arad – No Discipline.

www.moma.org

Many one off and some production pieces were on display, all laid out on a large twisting grid designed by the man himself.

Images don’t do justice to the beauty of his pieces. The metal work when seen at the scale it is done is breathtaking and each object begs to be touched (but they were watching me). Each piece was ingenious and expertly crafted, all showcased the brilliant rule breaking designs of Ron Arad.
