DESCRIPTION: During the ten years that took America from the effervescent heights of the Jazz Age to the depths of the Depression, New York State was the driving force behind the creation of 20th-century modernism.
The talk is presented by Lori Zabar who has conducted a pioneering exploration celebrating the Empire State as the avant-garde in fine art, fashion, technology, decorative arts, architecture and music that resulted in the century's most important design revolution, often called Art Deco today. She is an art, decorative arts, and architectural historian and independent curator with a long association with the American Wing of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2017, at the invitation of Utica's Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute Museum, she was guest curator of the exhibition from which her talk will be drawn. She has published widely in her field and was formerly co-proprietor of a gallery specializing in 19th- and early 20th-century British and American furniture and decorative arts. She holds graduate degrees in historic preservation and law.
