About the Series

Le Corbuffet returns with a limited-edition series of museum-quality prints from Esther Choi’s James Beard–nominated book. This exclusive collection features 33 signed archival pigment prints—including 2 previously unreleased covers—each offered in an edition of 100. 

A portion of the proceeds will support nonprofit organizations working to combat food insecurity across North America.

Le Corbuffet (2015–2019) • The project began with a discovery: a 1937 dinner menu designed by Hungarian artist László Moholy-Nagy for an event honoring Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. This artifact revealed how food can reflect identity, status, and cultural values. Inspired, artist Esther Choi launched Le Corbuffet in 2015—a series of satirical dinner parties in her Brooklyn apartment featuring pun-filled dishes named after iconic artists and designers. On the surface, the project poked fun at cultural consumption. But beneath the humor, Le Corbuffet offered a deeper critique of how meaning is eroded in a content-saturated, image-obsessed world. Published in 2019 by Prestel as a subversive cookbook influenced by Fluxus, the project explored the intersections of food, art, design, and publishing. Through playful translation across mediums and histories, Le Corbuffet invites us to reconsider how we consume culture—both literally and figuratively.
