What Was Good Design? MoMA’s Message 1944–56
What Was Good Design at mid-century is still good design.
From 1944 to 1956 the Museum of Modern Art played a leading role in defining taste. This installation presents selections from MoMA’s design collection that embody the primary values of Good Design as promoted (and disputed) by museums, design councils, and department stores. Iconic pieces by designers like Charles and Ray Eames and Hans Wegner are shown alongside more unexpected items, such as a hunting bow and a plumb bob, as well as everyday objects including an iron, a hamper, a rake, a cheese slicer, and Tupperware.
The Museum of Modern Art is located at 11 West 53rd Street.
