"Monsieur Bing and L'Art Nouveau"

In conjunction with the international exhibition "L'Art Nouveau, La Maison Bing" held at the Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam) from November 26, 2004 until February 27, 2005 a Documentary film was prepared and presented both in the exhibition itself and on continental European television. The film was supported by the Van Gogh Museum and the Musée des Arts décoratifs (Paris), along with other participating TV agencies, and was produced by Françoise Gazio for Ideale-Audience (France) and directed by Françoise Levie. The film will be available for viewing, when appropriate at the other venues of the exhibition: Museum Villa Stuck (Munich), the Caixa Forum in Barcelona and the Musée des Arts décoratifs (Paris) where the Bing exhibition will be seen from March-July, 2006.

The preparation of the film was carefully coordinated with sites that were specifically linked with S. Bing's career and artistic vision including location filming at the Albert Kahn Japanese Garden (Paris), the Japanese Tower (Brussels), the Horta Museum (Brussels), the Manufactory GDA (Limoges, now known as Royal, Limoges) and the Père Lachaise Cemetery (Paris). Various aspects of the filming are presented as images on this Website.
