Tuesday, 20 December 2011 - Sunday, 06 May 2012
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
In the early 1800s, furniture from the workshop of New York City cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe (1770–1854) was in such demand that he was referred to as the "United States Rage." This exhibition—the first retrospective on Phyfe in ninety years—re-introduces this artistic and influential master cabinetmaker to a contemporary audience. Organized chronologically, it presents the cabinetmaker's life and work through drawings, documents, personal possession and furniture. Portraits of his clients and contemporary depictions of New York City street domestic interiors provide a glimpse into Phyfe's milieu. -

For this exhibition—the first in the United States to feature her product designs—the Iraqi-born British architect has created a sculptural environment for a selection of furniture, decorative art, jewelry, and footwear that she has designed in recent years.
