Art Deco Centennial: A Guide to the Jazz Age Style in Our Neighborhoods, City, and World

About this Free Program:
The style we now know as Art Deco officially turned 100 this year, marking the centennial of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, or the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Art in Paris from which it derived its name. The Art Deco Society of New York is spending this year focusing on the Art Deco Style's exuberance, hope, and modernity, as it defined the interwar years in much of the West, as societies navigated boom and bust, revolution and retrenchment, optimism and despair.
Join the celebration when the Art Deco Society of New York partners with our friends at Greenwich Village Preservation for this special free event with its Executive Director, Andrew Berman. He will take a look back at the roots of this design aesthetic, which grew out of revolutionary 19th and early 20th century movements, and examine how it transformed New York City, from skyline landmarks to humble neighborhood infill developments. Then he’ll zoom in on Greenwich Village, the East Village, and NoHo, and take a closer look at the many stunning and surprising examples of the style in our neighborhoods, ranging from prominent and beloved monuments to overlooked workaday structures, with a few prisons, parking garages, and post offices in between — both surviving and long gone. He’ll look at where and why Art Deco proliferated in our neighborhoods, as well as where and why it surprisingly sometimes didn’t.
Can't join us at the time of the live free Zoom event ? No problem! Those who register will receive a recording of the entire program a few days after the live presentation. When you sign up for the program you have the opportunity to watch, or rewatch, the recording at a time more convenient for you.
