In this curator guided tour of A Dark, a Light, a Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes, visitors will discover the stories behind American textile designer, weaver, and color authority Dorothy Liebes. Liebes had a profound influence across design fields, helping to shape American tastes in areas from interiors and transportation to industrial design, fashion, and film. The “Liebes Look”—which combined vivid color, lush texture, and often a glint of metallic—became inextricably linked with the American modern aesthetic. Tour led by the exhibition’s co-curator, Alexa Griffith, Public Programs Manager View full event details here.
