Géraldine Veyrat, art historian and expert for the Service of the Inventory of Art and Historical Monuments (OPS), specialises in postwar public art and architectural interventions.
This lecture examines Geneva’s artistic ceramics from the 1950s, exploring how ceramists of the Geneva School engaged architecture, challenged ornamental categorisation, and elevated ceramics as an art form. It analyses the role of procurement policies allocating a percentage of construction costs, the inventive techniques used, and the works’ contribution to urban aesthetics.
