The Modernism Museum located in Mount Dora Florida is dedicated to the Memphis Group founded by Ettore Sottsass in 1980. The Memphis group was comprised of Italian designers and architects and focused on creating bright highly stylized lighting, furniture, glass, and textiles. The group was very unconventional and at times viewed their work as more artistic than functional. Key to their design was the use of bright colors, unusual textures, and materials inspired by the Art Deco movement of the 1950s. Memphis sought to counter the mid-century modern design of the 1950s and 1960s and the minimalism of the 1970s. The group was made up of approximately 20 designers and exhibited annually from 1981 to 1988. David Bowie was a major collector of the objects designed by the Memphis group. In 2016 after Davids Bowie's passing the Modernism Museum purchased a large number of his pieces at the Sotheby auction. The museum has 75+ examples from the Memphis group works many of which were p...

"Steele and Shulz" "A Brown County Partnership" Steele and Shulz The 2018 Brown County Art Gallery Collector showcase opened on September 14th, 2018. The focus of the exhibition was the partnership between Theodore Clement Steele and Adolph Shulz and their contribution to the establishment of the Brown County Art Colony. Rachel Berenson Perry writes "Two tall, slender men, often seen outdoors in the early 1900s, wearing wide-brimmed hats and dabbing at paintings on easels, are similar in appearance and occasionally mistaken for one another in historical photographs. Though from different generations and widely disparate personalities, T. C. Steele and Adolph Shulz both gravitated to the hills of Brown County Indiana, in search of new painting grounds." As with all of the art exhibitions organized by the Gallery, they never disappoint, and this show was no exception. The organizers put together a fabulous selection of Steele and Shulz...
