The 2011 Richard York Memorial Lecture will examine the case of Stuart Davis who was actively involved in fabric, carpet, and dishware design in the 1930s and sought to demonstrate how modern art could be made practical in the context of interior design, architecture and even fashion.

Lowery Stokes Sims is the Charles Bronfman International Curator at The Museum of Arts and Design and specialist in modern and contemporary art.

Admission is free. Reservations are required.
