"A Polymathic Italian Designer, With Muses and Friends," By Roberta Smith, July 26, 2017, The New York Times, Art & Design section. Exhibition Review of "Ettore Sottsass: Design Radical," ?Through Oct. 8, 2017 at the Met Breuer, Manhattan;

Ettore Sottsass. You can’t always live comfortably with his eccentric furniture, but you can’t write the history of late 20th-century art without it. On the 100th anniversary of his birth and only a decade since his death, in 2007, the Milanese maestro best known for his red Olivetti portable typewriter and as the guru of the revolutionary postmodern design group Memphis remains a magnificent irritant and an exemplar of originality.

Unsurprisingly, “Ettore Sottsass: Design Radical” at the Met Breuer has a combative air. You may argue your way through it, and also take issue with some of its contextual artworks — this show is nearly half non-Sottsass — but it is an invigorating, illuminating experience.
