Art Deco Paris
June 8, 2004–February 6, 2005
Modern Design and Architecture Gallery, Lila Acheson Wallace Wing, 1st floor
Art Deco Paris, an exhibition drawn from the Metropolitan Museum's collections that complements the recent special exhibition Ruhlmann: Genius of Art Deco, provides an opportunity to examine the broader context of high-style Parisian design in the 1920s. It includes outstanding examples of the work of Ruhlmann's contemporaries—both collaborators and competitors—from furniture by Süe et Mare to jewelry by Georges Fouquet, bookbindings by Pierre Legrain, lacquer by Jean Dunand, metalwork by Edgar Brandt, and costumes by Jeanne Lanvin.
