...with bright colors and lurid patterns. You may need dark glasses to view a Californian field photographed in 1978 (only a few of Eggleston's images have titles), in which mauve lupins are almost lost against a background of chrome yellow flowers under a cerulean sky. And an art deco cinema in Morton, Missouri, photographed between 1970 and '74, is floodlit in green against a purple sunset...

Less than a year after her appointment as creative director, London-based jeweler Solange Azagury-Partridge was ready to present her first show for the Gucci Group jeweler Boucheron.

Built in 1932, the complex was a socialist monument to fitness, health and hygiene. But by 1985, with the roof threatening to fall in, it had to close. Roubaix's citizens, determined to hang onto their architectural masterpiece, have turned it into a Museum of Art and Industry that has drawn crowds since its opening in October...
