In the 1920s he conceived an exuberant version of Art Deco for the Palais des Beaux-Arts, also in Brussels, where the exhibition that this book accompanies opened in October 1996.Essays by a team of scholars explore Horta's work, his formal language and concept of space, the role of his clients and his place in the development of European architecture.
