Yves Behar and the IEC's Power Symbol

The Way I See It

Available for over a year

Art critic Alastair Sooke, in the company of some of the leading creatives of our age, continues his deep dive into the stunning works in the Museum of Modern Art's collection, whilst exploring what it really means “to see” art. Today's edition features Swiss designer Yves Behar, whose choice is a powerful one - literally. He chooses the internationally recognised power symbol, the circle broken with a vertical line. Is it really art? That is how he sees it. Producer: Paul Kobrak Main Image: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)’s Power Symbol (2011)
