Looking forward to this show. I was so surprised when I fist learned about Viollet-le-Duc's idealized and occasionally fantastical architectural restorations. It was the first thing to open my eyes to the complexities and responsibilities of preservation/restoration.

Would love to see this exhibition on Viollet-le-Duc in New York!
Co-curated by Barry Bergdoll - should be excellent.

Eugène Viollet-le-Duc's epic 19th-century redesigns of the cathedral are a highlight of the exhibition at Bard Graduate Center in New York
