Wednesday June 20, 2012Charles Rohlfs (1853-1936) ranks as among the most innovative furniture makers from the period around 1900. Praised by the international press and exhibited in the United States and Europe, his exquisite designs reflect a unique mix of styles, including the Aesthetic Movement, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and proto-modernism. Despite the fame of his work and his prominence in nearly all American museum collections of decorative arts, Rohlfs’s interiors and commissions have never before been explored.Charles Rohlfs, furniture maker, Joseph Cunningham, interiors, interior design, 20th century, The Artistic Furniture of Charles Rohlfs, survey, talk, long, public program |
