Modern in the Making

MID-CENTURY MODERN: The art and design of this era continues its popular resurgence, and BC was a major Canadian artistic center. In fact, it was a golden age for the whole west coast as young artists and makers flocked to the region to experience the new creative explosion that occurred in the aftermath of the war into the turbulent sixties and seventies.

WIDE MIX OF OBJECTS: The exhibition includes a wide variety of pieces from the period representing the huge increase in demand for well-designed consumer goods, as well as for new homes. It will appeal both to connoisseurs of great design and to a popular audience who love beautiful things.

GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY: There will be extensive new photography of the pieces, intermixed with shots from the period, creating a stunning visual record. The book will be designed to complement the mid-century aesthetic and will be a lovely object in itself.

MULTI-CHANNEL SALES: This book will be at home in indie bookstores as well as design, furniture stores.
