gallery libby sellers is in design miami/basel for the third year in a row, presenting a curated group show themed around the game of chess. the presentation takes as its inspiration an exhibition hosted by the julien levy gallery in new york, 1944, during which Levy, max ernst and marcel duchamp invited a veritable “who’s who” of modernist artists to contribute chess sets, art works and furniture to the exhibition. the curated group show will include specially commissioned works by designers including: fabien cappello, simon hasan, stuart haygarth, paul Kelley, julia lohmann & gero grundmann, peter marigold, rolf sachs
