Katarina Burin: Contribution and Collaboration

Published by Koenig Books, Katarina Burin’s Petra Andrejova-Molnar project gives voice to female designers while questioning notions of authorship and authenticity, the relationship between gender and the archive, and the historical tension between national identity and internationalist aspirations. The book, an extension of the project, presents biographical narrative about the education and design work of Andrejova-Molnar, and positions her work in relation to mid-20th-century female architects Charlotte Perriand and Eileen Grey.
