The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture and the Society for History & Graphics with support from the Center for Innovation, Research, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA) present an informal gallery walk through A Designed Life, an exhibit that discusses three U.S. government-sponsored design exhibits that were circulated through postwar Germany in an attempt to promote the growth of democratic government. The contents of these exhibits are now associated with American modernism. Curator, Margaret Re, will be available to discuss the objects on view and the research that lead to this installation

Presented in association with the exhibition A Designed Life: Contemporary American Textile, Wallpapers, and Containers & Packaging, 1951 – 1954.
