SEVRES: THEN AND NOW: HILLWOOD MUSEUM AND GARDENS

OCTOBER 2009: In conjunction with the elegant Hillwood Museum exhibition, Sevres: Then and Now, Apartment Zero owner Douglas Burton discussed how industrial design blended with and reacted to minimalism and decoration throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, while curator Liana Paredes joined Douglas and introduced the little-known yet fascinating Sèvres creations of the same period. Highlights of the presentation included comparisons and contrasts with other avant-garde objects of note spanning from 1920 to 2010, which were examined in relation to contemporary Sèvres designs.
