Panel: Art for Every Home
Designed for Living: Mid-century American Textiles
In conjunction with the exhibition Art for Every Home: Associated American Artists, 1934–2000
Mid-century American fabric design displays great diversity, in styles ranging from colonial revival to space-age and beyond. This panel will examine a variety of textiles from this fascinating period—when fine art, fashion, interior decor, and commercial design overlapped. Moderated by Nancy Deihl, director, MA Program in Costume Studies, Art & Art Professions, NYU (Steinhardt); with speakers Meredith Busey, independent scholar; Karen Herbaugh, curator, American Textile History Museum, and catalogue essayist for Art for Every Home; and Leigh Wishner, curatorial assistant in Costume & Textiles, Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Supported by the IFPDA Foundation. Co-sponsored by NYU’s MA Program in Costume Studies, Department of Art & Art Professions (Steinhardt); and Grey Art Gallery.
