Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future: Gallery Tour
Join curator Donald Albrecht for a tour of Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future, the first retrospective of this architect's career, which was one of the most prolific, unorthodox, and controversial in the history of 20th-century architecture. From the TWA Terminal at JFK Airport and the St. Louis Gateway Arch to the Pedestal Chair for Knoll Associates, Saarinen (1910-1961) created some of the most potent expressions of American identity after World War II. Saarinen's clients constituted a who's who of the era's most prominent industries and institutions. Featuring sketches, working drawings, models, photographs, furnishings, films, and other ephemera, the exhibition examines the architect's career from the 1930s through the early 1960s.
