Alexander Girard (1907– 1993) was one of the most important modern textile artists and interior designers of the twentieth century. He worked closely with such designers as Charles Eames and George Nelson and combined Pop Art and Folk Art influences to create a colourfully opulent aesthetic language whose impact continues to be felt today
The first comprehensive retrospective of Girard’s oeuvre in Europe is able to draw on the Vitra Design Museum’s holdings from his private estate, which are being subjected to scholarly documentation and review for the first time in the context of the exhibition.
