Member Lecture—Bolts of Color
Member Lectures are available exclusively to Museum Members. Join today.
Step into the vibrant world of post-WWII textiles with Curator Genevieve Cortinovis, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Associate Curator of Decorative Arts and Design.
Join Cortinovis to explore the experimental screen-printing era of the 1950s through the 1970s in Britain, Italy, and the United States. Showcasing recent acquisitions of post-WWII textiles, this lecture will highlight the bold, creative energy of patterned fabrics and their unparalleled depth of color, texture, and precision.
