Papermade Modernism

Monday, October 10, 2005—Friday, September 29, 2006
Wells Fargo Center, Seventh St. and Marquette Ave., Minneapolis
Free Exhibition

While modernism has been examined in extensive detail, papermade objects seldom receive their due credit. Yet the ingenious use of a rather delicate medium has resulted in a remarkable array of two- and three-dimensional works. This exhibition includes furniture, lamps, vases, and sculptures by artists such as Frank Gehry, Isamu Noguchi, Red Grooms, and Charles and Ray Eames, among others.
