| Research Abstract |
This study focuses on the design of gallery spaces for modern art, investigating especially the non-white cube gallery space, which runs counter to the prevalent white cube spaces. By analyzing the historical development of gallery design for modern art, both white cubic and non-white cubic, this study also deals with the influence of space design on the meaning of the works displayed. The special attention is paid on the most important example of the non-white cubic type, El Lissitzky’s “Abstract Cabinet” in Hannover, Germany.
