DESCRIPTION:
Jan Utzon (son of Sydney Opera House architect Jørn Utzon), Lasse Andersson (Head of Exhibitions, Utzon Center) and others reveal the untold story of a collaboration between two of the 20th century’s greatest architects, for one of the 20th century’s greatest buildings.

In 1957, Jørn Utzon won the Sydney Opera House design competition. A year later the young Danish architect wrote to the world-famous Le Corbusier requesting art for a building that at that time existed only in sketches – the Opera House. The result of this extraordinary collaboration, the tapestry Les Dés Sont Jetés, was acquired by the Opera House in 2015 thanks to the support of donors. In late March 2016, the tapestry will be on display to the public for the first time, in the Western Foyers of the Opera House.
