Factory of Illusions: Researching and Reconstructing Joseph Urban’s Art Deco Bedroom
2/11/2022
Next summer, the Cincinnati Art Museum will display an exhibition based on Urban’s late 1920s commission for the Wormser family of Chicago. Over several years of researching this work of art, a bedroom for a young woman, the curatorial team gleaned information about the workers and manufacturers who potentially fabricated many of the room’s design elements.
“Design is not for philosophy, but for life.”
