I am seeking information on a pavilion designed for the Soviet
government by the avant garde architect Lazar El Lissitskii
for display at the Fourteenth International Aviation Exhibition.
The Exhibition was held in Paris during the early Fall of 1934.
I have scoured the relevant Russian archives and turned
up a few items (including one of Lissitskii's original blueprints)
but I have not been able to locate a photograph of the pavilion.
Does anyone who subscribes to H-Arthist know which
French archives or repositories might contain photographs
of the structure?
