Designing Home: Jews and Midcentury Modernism (on view through Oct 6, 2014) is the first exhibition to look at the contribution of Jewish designers, architects, patrons, and merchants in the creation of a distinctly modern American domestic landscape.
In the aftermath of World War II, the hub of world Jewry shifted from Europe to America. We look at the cultural context in which many Jewish émigré architects and designers from Europe in the 1930--40s were welcomed and embraced into the creative communities that sprang up around the US. The story told in this exhibition gives remarkable insight into Jewish assimilation into American society.
Featuring the work of 35 designers and architects, including Saul Bass, Paul Rand, Anni Albers, Richard Neutra, George Nelson, and more.
