In 2010, the couple\u2019s first exhibition dedicated to Le Corbusier&#8217;s work took place, \u00abLe Corbusier\u00a0 \u2013 Baumeister des Interieurs\u00bb (Le Corbusier \u2013 Master Builder of Interiors), followed by others, including an exhibition in 2013 in the Architekturforum Z\u00fcrich. For this occasion, Tomas Rabara had the pleasure of winning over Mario Botta, who gave a lecture detailing the inspiring role that the extensive artistic work of the Swiss universal genius plays not only for him.<\/p>\n<p>Tomas Rabara mainly found access to the world of posters through those which Le Corbusier himself had created for his exhibitions. The sheer motivic abundance of captivating artistic quality, the congenial combination of text and image, as well as the influential binding together of the respective situation and zeitgeist (whether in art, fashion, politics or industry) turn posters into grandiose images and outstanding sources that bring the past directly before the viewer\u2019s eye, thereby strengthening awareness of the present. Several posters made history \u2013 and yet \u2013 there are those that make it accessible in a way second to none.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, author of the catalog \u00abBauen auf Kunst \u2013 Le Corbusiers Druckgraphiken aus f\u00fcnf Jahrzehnten\u00bb, (Building on Art &#8211; Five Decades of Le Corbusier\u2019s Prints, 2013), and member of the International Vintage Poster Dealers Association, Tomas Rabara graduated from the Bern University of the Arts with a CAS. His areas of expertise includes specialization, especially in printing techniques, the recognition of reproductions, falsifications, and also provenance research. He is a connoisseur of Le Corbusier&#8217;s work and the area of Original Vintage Posters. Tomas Rabara\u2019s clients include collectors and enthusiasts, as well as businesses and public institutions. He guarantees the authenticity of all works offered at Placart and takes great pleasure in sharing his expertise and advising clients in purchasing works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<div class=\"layout-default layout-margin-default col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-12\"><div class=\"images\">\n    \n      <div class=\"image\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"932\" src=\"https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938-768x932.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938-768x932.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938-247x300.jpeg 247w, https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938-844x1024.jpeg 844w, https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938-1266x1536.jpeg 1266w, https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938-200x243.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938-350x425.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/placart-backup.bszserver.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/LC-in-Zurich-1938.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\n      <\/div>\n    \n<\/div><p>Le Corbusier, Placart as well (LC 1938 in Z\u00fcrich; source: Photopress, Z\u00fcrich)<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomas Rabara, PLACART In the Beginning there was Le Corbusier Gallery owner Tomas Rabara \u2013 formerly a journalist, reporter, and copywriter \u2013 was infected with the LC virus nearly twenty years ago by his wife, who, after studying architecture, was official auxiliary to Heidi Weber at the Le Corbusier Center for two years.
