Paris/New York: Design Fashion Culture 1925-1940

The cultural love affair and rivalry between two world capitals, NYC and Paris, are explored. Highlights include: historic reproductions, ca. 1931, of schemes submitted for a Paris architectural competition, the goal of which was to create the Voie Triomphale (Triumphal Way) connecting the Arc de Triomphe with La Defense; and Alfred Auguste Janniot’s (1889-1969) plaster model of part of the bronze relief above the doors of Rockefeller Center’s La Maison Française. The exhibition will also feature drawings, photographs, plans, and other material documenting two international expositions — the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris and the 1939/40 World’s Fair in NYC.
