The exhibition reveals chairs as works of art that tell stories of United States history spanning from the early 19th century to the early 21st century. \nThese stories range from the contributions of immigrants to changing tastes in style and aesthetics to new innovations in technology and materials. Visitors can admire the works of esteemed makers and designers\, including George Hunzinger\, the Stickley Brothers\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, and Charles and Ray Eames\, whose work has left an indelible mark on American design and continues to inspire contemporary artists and designers. \nThe Art of Seating: 200 Years of American Design is made possible through the generous support of PNC. Additional individual support is provided by Mary and Walt Beaver\, Sarah G. Cooper\, Lucy and Hooper Hardison\, and Kati and Chris Small. The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated 248-page scholarly catalogue that is available in The Mint Museum Store.
