Denver Mosaic 1961

The Denver Mosaic, conceived in 1961 for an office building designed by architects Joseph and Louise Marlow, has a unique place in the life and practice of Belgium architect and artist René Heyvaert (1929-1984). In this publication the entire mural is reproduced in photographs taken by Arnaud Hendrickx, co-founder with Wim Goossens of the design office AVDAK at the KU Leuven. The layout of the book presents the mural in 4 strips that smoothly unfold on the uncut, spiral-bound pages the ones after the others. The last page provides a couple of pictures of the actual building and a text about Heyvaert’s work. 

The book is a “spin-off” of the research conducted by AVDAK for an exhibition dedicated to René Heyvaert at museum M in Leuven, curated by Eva Wittocx and Peter Swinnen.
