Dear Members and Friends,
ADSW has been able to arrange a guided tour of the blockbuster
exhibition entitled “Modernism: Designing a New World 1914-1939" that
will open at the Corcoran Gallery of Art next month.
This largest and most comprehensive exhibition on the Modernism ever
staged in America explores the foundation and meaning of Modernism, and
it contains some of the most seminal works of modern art, graphic and
product design, and architecture produced in the first half of the 20th
century. The key Modern movements – such as the Bauhaus, the seminal
German art school, Suprematism in Russia, the DeStijl Group in the
Netherlands, and Purism in France – are explored in detail. There are
over 350 objects from 17 counrties and more than 50 film clips in
“Modernism.
Our exclusive tour will take place on Sunday, March 25 at 3:00 PM. The
cost of the tour will be $17, which will cover your timed ticket
admission to the exhibit and a tour fee. Space on this tour is limited,
and all registrations must be completed by February 25.
You can register on our Web site, www.adsw.org, or send a check to: ADSW
Modernism Tour, P.O. Box 42722, Washington, DC 20015. We hope, in
addition, to arrange a cocktail gathering or light supper after the
museum tour to share thoughts about this important exhibit which was
organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and presented last
year.
We hope to see you at the tour!
Linda Lyons, Education Chair
