Book Synopsis Designs on Modernity by : Tag Gronberg
Book excerpt: Tag Gronberg here presents the 1925 Paris Exhibition as a key moment in updating the image of Paris as 'capital of the 19th century'. He focuses on the Exhibition as a set of contesting representations of the modern city, stressing the importance of consumption and display for concepts of urban modernity.
