Movers and Shakers | Celebrating Art Deco
May 9 @ 6:00 pm - July 20 @ 4:00 pm
The birth of Art Deco has been attributed to an exhibition held in France in 1925, Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes. It highlighted the new modern style of architecture, interior decoration, furniture, glass, jewellery and other decorative arts in Europe and throughout the world. Australia was not immune and this exhibition, sourced from the NERAM collections, celebrates the centenary of art deco by highlighting influential people, showcasing the style, and the city of Sydney where art deco has had a lasting impact.
Features work by Herbert Badham, Grace Crowley, Douglas Dundas, Adrian Feint, Raynor Hoff, Margaret Preston, Thea Proctor, Ethel Spowers, Sydney Ure Smith, Doris Zinkeisen and more
