Eames Documentary to be on PBS December 19th

It’s not likely that this film will air in Indy before then, so I’ll just record it.  

It will air on “American Masters” Monday the 19th at 10:00pm.  Info here.

Also, here’s the review from the NYT. 

Eames Furniture and Miller House and Garden Links

Here are some links mentioned in Tricia Gilson and my presentation, Use, Degradation, and Patina: A Case Study of Eames Furniture at the Miller House and Garden, at Future Talks 011, in Munich, Germany. 

The presentation was given at Die Neu Sammlung on October 27, 2011. (The RAR pictured above is in the collection of this museum.)

Before this presentation, Tricia and I interviewed Eames expert, Daniel Ostroff, on Art21’s Blog in a two-part series: Following the Eames Legacy, a Discussion with Daniel Ostroff

Reading about Eames on Art21’s Blog.

The second part of our interview with Daniel Ostroff about the work and life of Charles and Ray Eames is now up on Art21’s Blog.  The interview, conducted with Tricia Gilson, covers a lot of ground, including ideas around patina, preservation, presentation, and exhibition.  Along with lots of background info on the new website EamesDesigns.com.

It’s broken up into two posts: 

Part I

Part II

Let me know what you think.
