The 20th Century Cincinnati Modernism Show has become
one of the region’s top design/collectibles events. This year, 60
dealers will offer furniture, artwork, glass, pottery, posters,
textiles, dinnerware and other objects representative of such 20th
century progressive design movements as Arts & Crafts, Art Deco,
Streamline, Futuristic, Mid-Century and Op/Pop. There will also be an
exhibit featuring memorabilia and objects from Russel Wright, the famous
designer born in nearby Lebanon.
In a related free event, from 10-11
a.m. Sunday, an expert panel from the Cincinnati Form Follows Function
(CF3) group will answer audience questions about discovering and
maintaining Modernist homes and objects. It occurs in Room 204 of the
convention center. Please send queries and photos for the panel in
advance to info@cf3.org in advance.
Admission to the show is $7 for both days; a limited number of $25 “Java
Preview” tickets, good for exclusive early Saturday admission and
breakfast, are available in advance. 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. Through Sunday, Feb. 24.
