The first major exploration of the theater and industrial designer who The New York Times dubbed “the Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th century.”
Norman Bel Geddes: I Have Seen the Future, Museum of the City of New York, October 16, 2013- February 10, 2014. A visionary who was equally comfortable in the realms of fact and fiction, Bel Geddes (1893-1958) played a significant role in the 1920s and ’30s, shaping not only modern America but also the nation’s image of itself as innovator and leader into the future. Bringing together some 200 never-before-seen drawings, models, photographs and films of theater sets and costumes, housing projects and appliances, airplanes and automobiles, the exhibition underscores that Bel Geddes sought nothing less the transformation of American society through design.
