Catalogue Note
Heidi Weber visited Le Corbusier in Paris every other week, fostering a close collaboration with him over a period of seven years. She organized and held regular exhibitions of his paintings, sculptures and original graphic works in her gallery Mezzanin in Zürich. Through these activities and her genuine commitment towards the artist's work, she won Le Corbusier's confidence and received from him the exclusive rights, for a thirty year period, to represent his works all together and to publish his graphic oeuvre world-wide.
