This event has ended.
"Eva Zeisel: Important Works of 20th Century Design" extends our previous exhibition celebrating Zeisel's long career on the occasion of her passing, December 30, 2011. Born in Hungary in 1906, Zeisel was one of the most important industrial designers of the 20th century with an over 80 year career. About Zeisel, art critic Jed Perl wrote, "There are elements of the magician, the poet, and the joker in everything that Eva Zeisel does. Seeing her objects next to one another, I know that stories are unfolding. Zeisel is a philosopher of the table top; she imagines all the relationships that can develop in a community of forms." This exhibition features works ranging from her early Bauhaus-influenced geometric designs for the Schramberg factory in the late 1920s to the rare small edition reissued designs produced in the late 1990s. In this context, Zeisel's designs are showcased for being continuously fresh and vibrant. Underscoring Zeisel's uniquely fluid form and self-confessed commitment to the s-curve, on view are her famous room dividers, iridescent Zsolnay vases, sterling silver bud vases and well-known ceramic pieces such as the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, among many other pieces. Zeisel's designs are included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum, and many others around the world.
