Charles And Ray Eames Designers of the Twentieth Century

Charles & Ray Eames, the most famous design partnership of 20th-century America, did pioneering work in furniture, film, architecture, & exhibition design. Here, Kirkham interprets their work in depth, probing the lives behind the designs & the nature of the collaboration. He had full access to the Eames archive & cooperation from the Eameses' clients & associates. The result is a richly detailed study of these remarkable designers & of their work from 1941 to 1978, including a substantial reevaluation of Ray's role. Much here will be new to readers who may be broadly familiar with the Eameses' work, particularly in the recounting of their early careers & in the examination of their multimedia presentations, exhibitions, & films. 100s of photos.Kirkham, Pat is the author of 'Charles And Ray Eames Designers of the Twentieth Century', published 1995 under ISBN 9780756776213 and ISBN 075677621X.
