ATLANTA, GA.- The High Museum of Art will host “European
Design Since 1985: Shaping the New Century,” the first comprehensive assessment
of Western European design from 1985 to 2005. The exhibition traces the
evolution of design with nearly 200 works by some of the most influential
artists of this era, encompassing furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork and a
broad range of product design created by 117 designers from 14 Western European
countries. Additional works from this period will be incorporated from the
High’s growing collection of contemporary design. “European Design Since 1985,”
organized by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) and the Denver Art Museum, in
conjunction with Kingston University, London, will be on view at the High from
June 5 through August 29, 2010.
