SHARE WITH A FRIENDMultiple Choice: From Sample to Product
On view November 9, 2007–September 10, 2008This exhibition will examine sample books and other sampling formats as tools for marketing or recording designs and techniques in a wide variety of media. In use since the eighteenth century, sampling formats provide detailed views into the design tastes of their respective eras. Drawn from the Museum's collection, exhibition objects will include sample books of wallcoverings; woven and printed textiles; ribbons, lace and embroidery; sample plates; and drawings and prints showing design alternatives. The exhibition is organized by Lucy Commoner with Matilda McQuaid and Kimberly Randall. Research assistance provided by Phyllis Dillon.
Multiple Choice: from Sample to Product is made possible in part by The Coby Foundation, Ltd.
Additional support is provided by the Getty Foundation and the Smithsonian Women’s Committee.
