Echoes from the Continent: Franco-Germanic Chairs
in Georgia
Opening Reception 6 — 8 pm
Exhibit ongoing through January 2011
This exhibit presents a large and distinctive
group of 19th century Georgia-made chairs in an examination of Continental
Europe’s influence on chair technology
and style from the late 1700s to 1910. Gathered from private collections
and institutions in Madison and elsewhere, the chairs selected for this exhibit provide
confirmation that ethnic aspects of the earliest settlement in this region
remained in Georgia’s culture for over a century.
Curated by Dale Couch, Adjunct Curator,
Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts, Georgia
Museum of Art.
Presented in conjunction with the 7th
