  • Deco Book Club

    • Saturday, February 25, 2023
    • 6:00 AM
    • Tuesday, December 31, 2030

    About the Program:

    Learn more about Art Deco and the culture of the 1920s and ’30s by being part of the Deco Book Club — a program available only to ADSNY members, and it’s FREE to join!

    Here’s how it works: bimonthly, registrants will receive details on a fiction or nonfiction book selection, which will be readily available either through purchase or at your local library. During the subsequent two-month reading period, additional information on the book, its author, its location, etc., will be sent to registrants to further both your enjoyment and understanding of the text and its literary milieu. 

    Following the close of the two months, there will be an event planned around the book‘s topic — such as vintage cocktail evenings, author talks, and site visits — where you’ll be able to gather with your fellow book lovers, among others, to socialize, discuss the book in greater depth, and meet a writer or two along the way. 

    While there will be an extra cost for those select events, Deco Book Club members will not only get advanced notice before they’re announced publicly, but they will also be able to register for them at a special reduced price — an added benefit of joining.

    It’s fun — it’s educational — it’s literary — and it’s free! So let’s get reading! Here are the first two selections:

    March & April

    —Flappers and Philosophers, F. Scott Fitzgerald

    It may not be as famous as The Great Gatsby, nor as well known as Tales of the Jazz Age, but it is just as finely written, and perhaps captures better the overall essence of early 1920s America, particularly the evolving relationships between men and women in an era of increasing social freedoms and changing sexual mores. Originally published in 1920, it was Fitzgerald’s first short story collection, and features eight classic tales, including “The Ice Palace,” “The Cut-Glass Bowl,” and “Bernice Bobs Her Hair.”
    Associated event: A Vintage Cocktail Evening

    May & June

    —Midnight in Cairo: The Divas of Egypt’s Roaring ’20s, Raphael Cormack

    During the 1920s and ’30s, Cairo was not only one of the world’s most multicultural cities, it was also a magnet for the ambitious and talented, where a vibrant music, theater, film, and cabaret scene flourished, dominated by women. Cormack unveils the rich histories of the independent, enterprising divas, who, buffeted by the crosswinds of colonialism and nationalism, conservatism and liberalism, and patriarchy and feminism, created a generation of celebrities that offered a new vision for women in Egypt and throughout the Middle East.

  • Deco Auf Deutsch: The Berlin Modernism Housing Estates (Video Event)

    Deco Auf Deutsch: The Berlin Modernism Housing Estates Video Event

    About the Event:

    During the 1920s, Germany and France shared a special aesthetic connection, with artists in both countries freely collaborating across the creative spectrum, particularly in the area of modern design. This had a profound effect on housing in the German capital, which after the Greater Berlin Act of 1920 became the third largest municipality in the world. This consolidation resulted in the need for significant urban planning reforms, much of which centered on the creation of new, state-initiated apartments which were intended to not only alleviate overcrowding, but also introduce a better, more hygienic mode of living. 

    In a true reflection of the period, architectural elements from both the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements were utilized in this city-wide construction project, and the result was a series of six groundbreaking modernist housing complexes — all distinctly individual in style, and designed by some of the era’s most prominent architects, including Bruno Taut, Martin Wagner, Walter Gropius, and Hans Scharoun, among others — which still exist today and together have been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    This profusely illustrated presentation will explore not only the history of this unique architectural and social endeavor, but also how its international integration of stylistic methodologies created a lasting testament to the power and impact of modern design. 

    Even though this event is online, it will include a live PowerPoint — with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device — as well as a Q&A session with participants. 

    Can’t join us at the time of the live 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 your schedule.

    About the Speaker:

    Lauren Miller Walsh is both ADSNY’s Executive Director and a design historian with a Master’s degree in the History of Design and Curatorial Studies from Cooper Hewitt/Parsons, where she specialized in late 19th—mid-20th-century European and American decorative arts, architecture, and printed material. She is the author of several papers on Art Deco and modernist design, and her graduate thesis, Weimar Rococo: The Cinema Posters of Josef Fenneker in 1920s Berlin, examined how the era's film industry impacted German society and aesthetics, with comparative sections on contemporaneous work in France and the United States.

    Looking for Lotus: Egyptian Art Deco in New York Video Event

    Design Evolution: Chicago’s Century of Progress and World Fairs of the 1930s Video Event

    About the Event:

    When Chicago’s 1933-34 Century of Progress International Exposition was being planned and built, organizers wanted to design a distinctly modern fair but were unsure what that meant. They eventually arrived at a definition of modern that was not based on a specific aesthetic style, but instead on the use of new materials and construction processes that would meet the functional needs of a modern society. As they planned the fair, its architecture evolved from neoclassicism--the preliminary concept for the exposition--to Art Deco, with the earliest pavilions constructed with design features found at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris; to modernism and streamlining.

    This richly illustrated talk will explore the evolution of designs produced for the Century of Progress Exposition, focusing on the Art Deco pavilions, and the influence of the Chicago exposition on the designs for the other American expositions, including the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair.

    This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

    About the Speaker:

    Lisa D. Schrenk, Ph.D. is Professor of Architectural History and Faculty Fellow at the University of Arizona. Her research on twentieth-century modern architecture focuses on Chicago, international expositions, and the early work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Her books include The Oak Park Studio of Frank Lloyd Wright and Building a Century of Progress: The Architecture of Chicago’s 1933-34 World’s Fair. She has authored many articles and book chapters, several focused on exposition Art Deco. She was a consultant on, and gave the opening lecture for, the National Building Museum’s exhibit, Designing the World of Tomorrow: America's World Fairs in the 1930s. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Society of Architectural Historians and as President of the Chicago Society of Architectural Historians. She is co-founder of ISIE, the global Institute for the Study of International Expositions. In 2020 she was named AIA Arizona Community Educator of the Year, in part for initiating and serving as faculty advisor for the UA Women in Architecture Society.

      Discovering Art Deco New York––40 Years and Counting Video Event


      About the Program:

      In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—we celebrate New York City's Art Deco Treasures and the 40th Anniversary of the Art Deco Society of New York's incorporation in January 2022!

      On January 11, 1982, a dozen admirers of Art Deco gathered in the Murray Hill apartment of interior designer Henriette Nathan to hold the first official meeting of the members and directors of the newly incorporated Art Deco Society of New York. Interest in the modernistic styles of the 1920s and 30s had been growing worldwide since a seminal Paris retrospective exhibition of 1966, and a number of New York's Deco superstars––Radio City Music Hall, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building––had found shelter under the city's Landmarks law of 1965. But the revival of interest in Art Deco was still in its early days. Forty years later, Art Deco may be the single most recognizable architectural style in New York City, where more than 80 individual Deco buildings have won Landmarks protection, along with dozens more in historic districts, including a stretch of the Grand Concourse.

      In this celebratory recorded video program, Anthony W. Robins––who joined ADSNY while the Society was still getting organized––traces the extraordinary growth of New York's fascination with Art Deco architecture, and its rocky road to acceptance in historic preservation circles. Robins witnessed much of that story while on staff at the Landmarks Commission (where he wrote the designation reports of half a dozen Deco landmarks). The delightful talk revisits resounding victories, from rescuing Radio City in the late 1970s to the interiors of the Waldorf-Astoria in 2017. It highlights major restorations, from the Empire State Building's lobby to the Orchard Beach Bathhouse. But it also recounts some of the lamentable losses––from Bonwit Teller, demolished in 1980, to the McGraw Hill Building lobby, stripped to the walls in 2021––a reminder that there is still important work to be done.

      This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

      About the Speaker: 

      Anthony W. Robins has been guiding natives and visitors to the city’s wonders of steel and stone for twenty-five years. He has led hundreds of walking tours of New York history and architecture. A founding member of ADSNY, Robins created the Society’s original tour program in 1981. In 2017, the Guides Association of New York City honored him with the “Guiding Spirit Award.” He lectures on New York history and architecture to audiences both in the United States and abroad, teaches various levels of students about architecture and the development of New York City, and has authored five books and a number of short guide books, as well as many newspaper and magazine articles. His latest award-winning book, New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture, explores Art Deco throughout the five boroughs.

        Liu Jipiao (刘既漂): The Father of Chinese Art Deco Video Event


        About the Program:

        Join the Art Deco Society of New York and Jennifer Wong to explore the important Art Deco architectural legacy of her notable grandfather, Liu Jipiao. In this dynamic recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––Jennifer gives her personal account of her impressive grandfather and his

        • Studies as a young man in Paris during the 1920s
        • Chinese-and-Deco fused architectural designs
        • Contributions to the 1925 Paris Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes 
        • Involvement in the establishment of one of the first modernist art schools in China
        • Passionate work in rebuilding and strengthening China

        In addition, we also get Jennifer's insider view on why Liu Jipiao is known as the “Father of Chinese Art Deco," and explore how his life changed after fleeing China in 1947 to America.

        While we explore the life and work of Liu Jipiao in this web-based event, we also get a fascinating look into how China's response to domestic and international crises gave birth to a new generation of Chinese artists while Paris was spinning into the Roaring Twenties. We see how these new artists were unified by the ideology to learn from the West and develop a new art. In this program Jennifer gives us a glimpse of the arrival of the first wave of the Chinese artists to Paris in the 1920s and show us how they encountered Western art.

        Scholars have only recently begun to rediscover Chinese architect Liu Jipiao, and you won't want to miss this special event exploring the importance he played in our favorite era!

        This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

        About the Speaker: 

        Jennifer Wong is a firstborn American on her mother’s side and maternal granddaughter of Chinese Art Deco Architect, Liu Jipiao (刘既漂) 1900–1992. She has her BA in East Asian Studies from Wesleyan University Connecticut, focusing on Chinese Language and History. She studied in China from 1986–1987 as a personal journey, discovering her roots and connecting with family she never knew.

        Jennifer is the self-appointed family historian who’s research has taken her and her family to Paris where her grandfather’s work was displayed in the Cité de l'architecture & du patrimoine’s 1925, When Art Déco Dazzled the World Exhibit. She was honored to present at the World Congress on Art Deco in Shanghai, and several years later at the Hong Kong City U Exhibit The France-China Connection. Jennifer lives in Los Angeles and is thrilled to be presenting to the ADSNY as New York City is the home of her heart!

          Paris/New York: Design, Fashion, Culture 1925–1940 Video Event


          About the Program:

          Celebrated curator and author Donald Albrecht leads us on an exploration of the dynamic relationship between two of our favorite cities––New York and Paris––and shows how New York City, looking to Paris for inspirationbetween the two world wars, became the international cultural capital it is today!

          In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––you'll see how a burst of creative energy in the fields of architecture, design, and fashion characterized the era. Shaping new styles of buildings and furnishings, redefining contemporary dress, and giving visual form to avant-garde performing arts, architects and designers forged a still-influential modern aesthetic. In this event Albrecht illustrates how the interchange between them was never simple and comprised in equal measure admiration and envy, respect, and rivalry, as artists and designers in each city interpreted and incorporated principles of Art Deco, Cubism, International Style, Neo-Romanticism, and Surrealism into their own practices.

          This beautifully illustrated online lecture brings together well-known figures such as Josephine Baker and Salvador Dalí and revives the reputations of forgotten ones. Whether famous or not, they rarely worked in isolation, preferring instead to participate in international dialogues that crossed national boundaries and linked capital cities in collaborative artistic enterprise.

          This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

          About the Speaker: 

          Donald Albrecht is an independent curator and author. Projects for public institutions such as the Library of Congress and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, among others, explore a wide range of topics from broad overviews of cultural trends to in-depth profiles of visual and performing artists. Albrecht served as curator of the exhibition Paris/New York: Design, Fashion, Culture, 1925-1940 at the Museum of the City of New York in 2008.

            Hello Sunshine! 1930s Deco at the Great British Seaside Video Event


            About the Program:

            The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of web-based illustrated talks inspired by our Destination Deco travel program continues with our virtual vacation to the British coast to discover the best of its interwar architectural and cultural heritage with architectural historian Dr. Kathryn Ferry.

            In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––you are transported to a range of streamlined Deco Moderne seaside buildings for some much-needed sunshine.

            Representing our sister organization, the Art Deco Society UK, Ferry explores how the 1930s was a boom time for Britain’s coastal resorts when the working class won the right to paid vacations and new sunbathing fashion captured the imagination and quickly spread through all levels of society. We see how architecture reflected these new leisure priorities with vast outdoor pools and amusement parks that quickly sprang up to cater to the masses arriving in great numbers. Hotels boasted balconies that captured the sun's rays, while Butlin’s holiday camps offered guests the chance to imbibe in an "American Cocktail Bar". 

            Highlights of this web-based talk include stops along the British coast to visit the 

            • Iconic De la Warr Pavilion at Bexhill in Sussex
            • Marine Court at St Leonards-on-Sea, known as the "liner on land" when it opened in 1938
            • Casino at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which was part of an Art Deco make-over of the famous Lancashire amusement park by celebrated architect Joseph Emberton

            Our seaside tour also includes virtual visits to marvelous 1930s Art Deco piers, promenades, and even parking lots!

              The Women of Art Deco Design, Part Two Video Event


              About the Program:

              Scan Art Deco literature, and you’re likely to find the names of many well-known designers––almost exclusively male. Far less recognized are the many talented women designers of the era who have been forgotten, overlooked, or overshadowed by a more celebrated spouse.

              Historian Kathleen Murphy Skolnik returns for the highly anticipated second installment of this series on the women of Art Deco design. In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––we continue to examine the work of these unsung heroines, from the whimsical table linens of Marguerita Mergentime, to the silver designs of Helen Hughes Dulany and Elsa Tennhardt, to the modernistic ceramics of Greta Marks and Eva Zeisel, to the photographs of Parisian storefronts by Therese Bonney.

              You don't have to have seen Part One of this series to enjoy this installment. But if you are interested in learning more about Part One, click here.

              This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

              About the Speaker: 

              Kathleen Murphy Skolnik teaches art and architectural history at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois and leads seminars on Art Deco design at the Newberry Library.

                Robert Mallet-Stevens, the Most Elegant French Modernist, 1920-1940 Video Event


                About the Program:

                Don't miss this engaging video event that delves into the captivating work of architect, professor, and designer of furniture, costume, movie sets, commercial, and residential interiors, Robert Mallet-Stevens––who is in some ways one of the least known cultural figures of the French entre-deux-guerres.

                Educator Chris Boïcos, of Paris Art Studies, shows how as a theoretician and practitioner Mallet-Stevens revolutionized the design of his era as much as his more famous rival, Le Corbusier. Less austere and less doctrinaire than Le Corbusier but also less sleek and posh than his Art Deco colleagues, Mallet-Stevens created a unique architectural look that strikes a perfect balance between the radical ideals of the modern school and the expensive luxuries of Art Deco.

                In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––we examine Mallet-Stevens’ collaboration with some of the great creators and patrons of the age: the couturier Paul Poiret, the Surrealist patrons Charles and Marie-Laure Noailles, the cinema director Marcel Herbier and more. We also focus on his two architectural masterpieces: the Villa Noailles in Hyères (1923–25) and the Villa Cavrois in Lille (1929–1932).

                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                About the Speaker: 

                Chris Boïcos has taught art history for American University programs in Paris since 1989. He is the founder and principal lecturer of Paris Art Studies, which organizes museum and exhibition visits and lectures for the English-speaking public in Paris. Boïcos has been involved in the contemporary art world, first as art critic in the 1980s and then as curator of numerous gallery and institutional exhibitions in Paris and abroad. He is the founder and partner of Galerie Beckel Odille Boïcos (1999–2013) in Paris and founder and director since 2013 of Chris Boïcos Fine Arts an art gallery in Paris and in Paxos, Greece.

                  Telling the Art Deco Story of Jamaica Video Event


                  About the Program:

                  Our Telling the Art Deco Stories of our Neighborhood's online series continues so you can virtually visit New York's Art Deco enclaves with the Art Deco Society of New York––from anywhere.

                  In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––architectural historian Matt Postal will lead us through Jamaica, Queens, which is a vibrant commercial center that boasts a varied and often overlooked collection of Art Deco buildings.

                  From modern classical to moderne, Postal will highlight this Queens neighborhood, where modern aesthetics transformed the appearance of local banks, department stores, factories, and nightspots during the 1920s and 1930s. Highlights include an aluminum-clad supper club, La Casina, where rumba rhythms once drew dancers, and the Suffolk Title & Guarantee Building, a slender skyscraper with colorful terracotta panels fashioned by Rene Chambellan. 

                  Further afield, we’ll focus on Art Deco’s impact on the public realm, emphasizing memorable New Deal structures that were commissioned to protect, educate, and serve this growing Queens community, such as an intimate post office containing “The First Amendment,” a little known mural painted by Ben Shahn.

                  Sign up today for this new tour of a neighborhood ADSNY has yet to feature.

                  This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                  About the Speaker: 

                  Our guide, architectural historian Matt Postal, leads walking tours throughout New York City. Specializing in 19th and 20th century architecture, he teaches graduate courses at the New York School of Interior Design.

                    Hildreth Meière’s New York City Art Deco Masterpieces Video Event


                    About the Program:

                    In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––we get a riveting look at the spectacular work of Hildreth Meière, a native and long-time resident of New York, who is also one of the most talented, prolific, and versatile American muralists of the twentieth century.

                    Author and historian Kathleen Murphy Skolnik leads us on a tantalizing exploration of Meière’s approximately one hundred completed commissions during her forty-year career, which extended from the early 1920s to her death in 1961. Though Meière’s impressive Art Deco works can be found throughout the United States, some of her most significant designs are located in New York City.

                    This visually delightful web-based presentation explores Meière’s designs throughout Manhattan, including her:

                    • Stunning color scheme of the red banking room at One Wall Street in Lower Manhattan
                    • Gleaming metal and enamel roundels on the 50th Street façade of Radio City Music Hall
                    • Glittering glass mosaics in the sanctuary of Temple Emanu-El on Fifth Avenue at 65th Street 

                    and several more exciting masterpieces in between! We also step back in time to see Meière’s eleven commissions for the 1939 New York World’s Fair––a truly special treat!

                    This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                    About the Speaker: 

                    Kathleen Murphy Skolnik teaches art and architectural history at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois and leads seminars on Art Deco design at the Newberry Library, a private research library also in Chicago. She is the co-author of The Art Deco Murals of Hildreth Meière and a contributor to the recently published Art Deco Chicago: Designing Modern America. Her articles have appeared in ADSNY's Art Deco New York journal and she currently serves on ADSNY's Advisory Board.

                      Wolfsonian Art Deco: Looking to the Past, Designing for the Future Video Event


                      About the Program:

                      Join ADSNY and The Wolfsonian–FIU curator Shoshana Resnikoff, for this exclusive video tour of Art Deco treasures within the museum's celebrated collection. Drawn from The Wolfsonian–FIU’s outstanding holdings of European and American Art Deco, this highly illustrated talk explores the origins of the style as a decorative expression of European luxury and its flourishing in the United States as a manifestation of machine age ambitions.  

                      In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––we see rich examples of the diverse range of objects by artists and designers in Europe and United states, who worked between World War I and World War II to develop a new style for a new age. Resnikoff shows how this experimentation created a diverse range of objects, spaces, and buildings that were united as much by spirit and approach as by formal qualities.

                      This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.  

                      About the Speaker: 

                      Shoshana Resnikoff is a curator at The Wolfsonian­–FIU, where she works with collections of art, decorative arts, and design.

Prior to The Wolfsonian, Shoshana was assistant curator at The Peabody Essex Museum, and held curatorial positions at the Terra Foundation for American Art and Cranbrook Art Museum. She holds an MA from the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture at the University of Delaware. 

                      About The Wolfsonian–FIU:  

                      The Wolfsonian–FIU is a museum, library, and research center that uses objects to illustrate the persuasive power of art and design, to explore what it means to be modern, and to tell the story of social, historical, and technological changes that have transformed our world.

                        Egyptomania and the Nile Style Video Event

                        About the Program:

                        Dig into the 1920s and 30s passion for Egyptian-inspired design sparked by the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb known as Egyptomania!

                        You won’t want to miss this vivacious video event presentation by engaging historian Lucy Jane Santos, who will take us through the fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, decorative arts, architecture, cinema, and music that encompassed the Nile Style in the 1920s and 1930s. 

                        While fascination surrounding Ancient Egypt has existed for millennia, the early twentieth century simply did it bigger and better than ever. The flames of Egyptomania ignited in the previous centuries were fueled by new archaeological discoveries (including that of King Tut), superstitions and crucially, the style that would come to define the Art Deco aesthetic. 

                        This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.  

                        About the Speaker:

                          The White City of Tel Aviv Video Event


                          About the Program:

                          The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of web-based illustrated talks inspired by our Destination Deco travel program continues with a virtual discovery of the architecture, cultural history, and preservation of Tel Aviv’s White City.

                          In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––explore how Tel Aviv is filled with an exceptional ensemble of architecture and design of the interwar period that often blurs the lines between the Art Deco, Streamline Moderne, International, and Bauhaus styles. 

                          Micha Gross, Director of the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv, leads us through striking examples of 1930s and 40s buildings designed by European-trained designers and architects. 

                          In this web-based event Gross shows how the White City––which boasts over 4,000 beautifully designed period buildings––displays a rich variation of architecture that characteristically rejects excessive surface decoration. The sleek façades contrast with decorative entrances to reveal the unique story of a bourgeois society that developed this important city to provide Jewish refugees from Germany, and other European countries, a new home.  

                          We also see how gentrification enables preservation of many of the protected buildings and learn of the private owners, building companies, and municipality's department for preservation involved in the ongoing renewal of this heritage site.

                          This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                          About the Speaker: 

                          Dr. Micha Gross, born in Switzerland, attended the University of Zürich and received his PhD from the Technion Haifa, Israel. Gross is the director of the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv which he co-founded in 2000. He is editor of several architectural publications and actively involved in research projects with a wide range of national and international institutions. 

                          About Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv:

                          Established in 2000 by Dr. Asher Ben-Shmuel, Shlomit Gross, and Dr. Micha Gross to expand public recognition of the “White City” as a unique architectural and cultural site, the Center has a gallery with a permanent collection and changing exhibitions, conducts tours of the city and is a publisher dedicated to the Bauhaus. The Center cooperates with the Israeli Committee for UNESCO and the municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo as well as with various institutions, museums and galleries.

These remarkable public works are known for their vast size, underwater night lighting, and elegant Art Deco details.

                              Join the Art Deco Society of New York and celebrated architectural historian Francis Morrone for a new recorded Video Event exploring the Art Deco typography of some of New York's most famous Deco treasures. 

                              From ancient times to the present, lettering on buildings has been an important part of architecture. From sacred and honorific inscriptions, to building names to directional signs, such eye-catching lettering is often carefully designed to complement the building's other stylistic features.

                              Don't miss this exciting event—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—that explores how one of Art Deco's many pleasures is the lettering on buildings. In this web-based illustrated lecture, we'll survey the often beautiful and always interesting lettering on Art Deco buildings in New York, as well as on other buildings of the interwar period and immediate postwar periods.

                              This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                There is perhaps nothing more stimulating to the imagination of prohibition era life amidst New York City’s towering Art Deco architecture than the jazz music of its period! Sign up today to join scholar and jazz expert, John T. Reddick, for this engaging online program that offers an illuminating look at music of the Jazz Age. 

                                In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—we meet the premiere orchestrators of that music who grew-up in Harlem and were nurtured by the community’s ragtime era Black and Jewish talents. It was their outsider’s view that helped them to craft the rhythms, themes, and empathy that resulted in a uniquely American musical identity.

                                You won't want to miss this deep dive into one of the Jazz Age's most vivacious hotspots!

                                What is Art Deco? Where did it come from? And how useful is the concept of style today? Join ADSNY for this delightful video event where author and educator Michael Windover explores these fundamental questions.

                                This recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––is a great introduction for those new to Art Deco as well as an in-depth refresher for those with preexisting knowledge of the style. 

                                The often broad definition of the term Art Deco––referring to a huge range of sources and cutting across medium and class lines––can sometimes hinder historical investigations. In this thought-provoking event, Michael Windover will explore whether these challenges outweigh the benefits the style moniker offers. 

                                Get your ticket today for this web-based talk that will consider these issues as we review the history of the term Art Deco and the meaning of style as we make sense of our past.

                                About the Event:

                                Join ADSNY for this special recorded video event that chronicles the incredible true story of how one dancer in 1978 motivated her colleagues and friends to save Radio City Music Hall from imminent demolition. Using media clips from the era, Rosemary Novellino-Mearns––the 1970s dance captain of Radio City Music Hall’s Ballet Company––tells the amazing David and Goliath story of how she led the fight that saved the Showplace of the Nation.

                                In the mid-1970s, rumors of questionable behind-the-scenes changes alarmed hundreds of employees, but no one was prepared for the official announcement that the famed Radio City Music Hall was slated to close that April and be demolished shortly thereafter.

                                In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––you will hear the riveting tale of how Rosemary refused to let this happen and quickly organized “The Showpeople’s Committee to Save Radio City Music Hall.” We'll see how she motivated her fellow workers, friends, tens of thousands of Radio City fans around the world, cultural leaders, and politicians to support the cause. She became a champion in the use of local and national media to garner coverage, and we see clips of this effort throughout the presentation. As a result of these efforts, the Art Deco palace was declared a National Historic Landmark, saving not only the building, but the jobs and livelihoods of Music Hall employees, who have continued to entertain millions since that fateful year.

                                This fact-filled, sometimes emotionally charged, and often humorous personal account of that preservation campaign gives us a backstage glimpse into the drama that unfolded.

                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                                About the Speaker:

                                Rosemary Novellino-Mearns was a modest but determined young dancer from Glen Rock, New Jersey. She joined the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Company in 1966 and danced with the group for twelve years––eventually becoming its Dance Captain and Assistant to the legendary choreographer Peter Gennaro. She is the author of Saving Radio City Music Hall: A Dancer’s True Story.

                                About the Event:

                                The Art Deco Society of New York's series of web-based talks inspired by our Destination Deco travel program continues with a virtual visit exploring the Art Deco architecture in Montreal.  

                                Founded in 1642, Montreal, the second-largest city in Canada, and the largest city in the province of Quebec, possesses a distinctive culture derived from the confluence of the French and the English traditions. In this web-based program we'll see how Art Deco architecture is part of the historic fabric of the city. 

                                Because of its close connection to Paris, Art Deco came earlier to Montreal than most North American cities. In this presentation, expert Sandra Cohen-Rose will show how Montreal developed a distinct Northern Deco style, with a unique stylistic vocabulary that evolved to reflect changing socio-economic conditions. We will also see how architects came from the United States, Europe, and Australia to join Canadian architects to establish a stimulating visual legacy of Art Deco buildings. We will also see how, even in their late work, several architects continued to turn to the Art Deco vocabulary.  

                                In this online presentation, Cohen-Rose will also show how, on May 12, 2006, Montreal was the first North American city designated a UNESCO City of Design by the Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity. This special program will show how "design in Montreal is not simply for show but a source of daily well-being."

                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                                About the Speaker:

                                Sandra Cohen-Rose divides her time between Montreal and Austin, Eastern Township, Quebec. She is the author of the first book on Canadian Art Deco, Northern Deco - Art Deco Architecture in Montreal. Recently she wrote the chapter, "The Evolution and Role of Art Deco Societies and World Congresses in the Preservation and Popularization of Art Deco," for the 2019 Routledge Companion to Art Deco. Montreal Art Deco references play a prominent role in her first novel, Waskaganish and Cohen-Rose is presently working on a sequel.

                                In 2002 she founded Art Deco Montréal, which in 2009 hosted the well-received 10th World Congress on Art Deco. From 2011–15 she was Facilitator for the international Coalition of Art Deco Societies. She has lectured extensively and written and contributed to articles on Montreal Art Deco.

                                At its peak of popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco affected just about every aspect of how we lived. What is often overlooked is that it also affected the way in which one was memorialized after death. Highlights of this one-of-a-kind web-based program will include

                                • Monumental cemetery portals of Francisco Salamone in Argentina

                                • Striking monumental World War I memorials in Europe, Australia, and the United States

                                • Exotic Egyptian revival tombs

                                and so much more!

                                Heavenly Deco: Art Deco Houses of Worship in New York Video Event

                                About the Event:

                                Join us for an exploration of New York houses of worship designed in whole or part in the Art Deco style from the 1920s to the 1950s. This was a period of transition in the architecture of sacred spaces, in which traditional styles — classical, Gothic, Romanesque — incorporated stylized, sometimes strikingly modern details, as churches and synagogues sought to follow the currents of contemporary architecture without losing the traditional forms, arrangements, and imagery to which so much sanctity was attached. Results were mixed, but the period at its best produced some of the most exciting buildings in New York. We will also provide sidelights on what was going on in other cities around the world.

                                Among those featured will be:

                                • Church of the Heavenly Rest
                                • Temple Emanu-El
                                • St. Bartholomew‘s

                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                About the Speaker:

                                Join ADSNY for a seasonal holiday celebration, as Andrew Garn and Eric P. Nash lead us on a virtual exploration of New York’s architectural splendor through a whole new lens.

                                Although Art Deco is often associated with the achievements of the Machine Age — skyscrapers, ocean lines, zeppelins — Garn and Nash reveal how the beautiful natural motifs of Art Deco, drawn from such classical subjects as peacocks, flowers, fountains, and fish, served to soften the era’s hard edges with their sparkling and seductive imagery.

                                Garn and Nash will share with us both famous and lesser-known decorative stunners from their new book, New York Art Deco: Birds, Beasts & Blooms, which demonstrate the gentler, more organic side of Art Deco ornamentation. Highlights of this one-of-a-kind web-based program will include:

                                •  A special tour of the Chrysler building’s motifs

                                •  A new perspective on the Empire State Building

                                • Stunning interior images of the Fred F. French Building

                                •  A seldom seen insider’s view of a beautiful apartment house in Brooklyn Heights
                                •  Lesser known stunners along the Grand Concourse in the Bronx

                                and so much more!

                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device––as well as a moderated Q&A session with participants from the in-person talk.

                                Andrew Garn is a Fulbright-winning photographer and author of New York by Neighborhood. Eric P. Nash is the author of SoHo New York and was a researcher for the New York Times for twenty-five years, where he wrote more than 100 articles.

                                About the Event:

                                During the 1920s and 1930s, the speed of modern life in the United States — accelerated by advances in transportation, communication, technology and advertising — changed not only how people lived their lives, but also the objects they chose to live with. A new profession emerged to help American manufacturers and consumers navigate the overwhelming transitions of the era: the industrial designer. Through the power of form, color, ornament, and materials, the earliest practitioners created a modern aesthetic that came to represent American hopes, dreams, and fantasies.

                                Based on her new book, curator and author Nonie Gadsden will present a close examination of selected masterworks for the era, each which offer a window into the social, cultural, technological, and economic world in which they were made and used. Included will be sleek furniture, vibrant ceramics, streamlined metalware, and innovative plastics from the leading designers of the era, among them:

                                About the Event:

                                Journey to Paris with ADSNY as curators Emmanuel Breon and Bénédicte Mayer of the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine lead us on a virtual tour of their wonderful new exhibition, Art Déco France—North America, for a truly international look at the long-standing aesthetic connections between France and the United States, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s, when French Art Deco style influenced the architecture, decor, lifestyle, and taste of North Americans.

                                This dynamic dialogue was instigated primarily by American and Canadian architects who, starting in the late 19th century, had been trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and brought decidedly French ideas of composition and ornamentation back across the Atlantic. This emulation culminated in 1925 during the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels, when a 104-member American delegation was sent to Paris to observe this resolutely modern “new style.”

                                At the same time, more and more French architects were working on the North American continent, and upon their return to France in the 1930s, their experiences inspired a new building style centered on more grandiose American proportions and modern perspectives.

                                This trans-Atlantic architectural interchange in turn influenced not only those directly involved in the building trades on both continents, such as painters, sculptors, interior designers, ironworkers, and muralists, but also those in the fashion, jewelry, and tableware fields, with much of the work predicated on Art Deco style.

                                Even though this event is online, it will include a live PowerPoint — with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                                About the Speakers:

                                Bénédicte Mayer is deputy curator of the Musée des Monuments Français/ Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, and co-curator of Art Déco France—North America. She worked previously at the Revue Histoire de l’Art, the Centre des monuments nationaux, and the French Ministry of Culture, and has also co-curated Art Deco: The France–China Connection (2019), The Architect: Portraits and Snapshots (2017), 1925: When Art Deco Seduced the World (2013), and Art Deco and Saint–Quentin (2015).

                                About the Program:

                                Register today to join the Art Deco Society of New York and renowned Art Deco architectural expert, Anthony W. Robins, for an engaging illustrated talk on one of our favorite topics––New York's stunning Art Deco architecture!

                                In this web-based presentation—presented through Zoom, which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home—Robins will explore how, in New York, Art Deco evolved through a series of Manhattan skyscrapers into the city’s chief architectural language. He will also discuss how the 1970s brought a massive reawakening of interest in New York’s Deco buildings, which survive today as prized remnants of a distant yet modern past that still help define the city’s visual identity.

                                The lecture covers the great skyscrapers of architects Raymond Hood, William Van Alen, and Ralph Walker, including the Daily News, Empire State, Irving Trust, General Electric, American Radiator, Barclay-Vesey and RCA Buildings. It then traces the adaptation of this “skyscraper style” through apartment buildings on the Bronx’s Grand Concourse, airport terminals at LaGuardia, the Central Park West residential skyline, automated midtown parking garages, hotels, department stores, and Radio City Music Hall.

                                About the Speaker:

                                Anthony W. Robins has been guiding natives and visitors to the city’s wonders of steel and stone for twenty-five years. He has led hundreds of walking tours of New York history and architecture. A founding member of ADSNY, Robins created the Society’s original tour program in 1981. In 2017, the Guides Association of New York City honored him with the “Guiding Spirit Award.” He lectures on New York history and architecture to audiences both in the United States and abroad, teaches various levels of students about architecture and the development of New York City, and has authored five books and a number of short guide books, as well as many newspaper and magazine articles. His latest award-winning book, New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture, explores Art Deco throughout the five boroughs.

                                Join ADSNY for the first of a series of programs that celebrate 2020’s Year of the Woman! This illustrated talk, by historian Kathleen Murphy Skolnik, will examine the works of talented women who made their mark on design during the Art Deco era in fields that were often dominated by men.

                                Skolnik will explore the period of exceptional creativity in the 1920s and 30s as artists and designers developed a new, modern decorative approach to design that we now call Art Deco. Though the majority of the most celebrated Art Deco designers remembered today are men, a number of women––many overlooked, forgotten, or overshadowed by their better-known spouses––also adopted and fostered the development of the Deco aesthetic.

                                We will survey the work of talented women such as sculptor Gwen Lux; industrial designers Helen Dryden and Belle Kogan; metal designers Ilonka Karasz and Elsa Tennhardt; muralists Lillian Gaertner Palmedo, Helen Forbes, and Dorothy Pucinelli; as well as textile designers Ruth Reeves and Loja Saarinen, who made their mark on designs of the Art Deco era. 

                                Register now to join us for this fascinating illustrated talk.

                                Kathleen Murphy Skolnik teaches art and architectural history at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois and leads seminars on Art Deco design at the Newberry Library.

                                About the Program:

                                Enjoy a recording of our fascinating illustrated talk——that you can view from the comfort of your own home——presented by celebrated independent curator Donald Albrecht 

                                This web-based presentation, explores the contributions of Jewish designers, architects, patrons, and merchants in the creation of a distinctly modern, Twentieth-century American domestic landscape. The story told gives remarkable insight into Jewish assimilation into American society. At the same time, Designing Home goes beyond a simple exploration of physical Jewish contributions to the history of modern architecture and design—an impact that continues today—to examine broader cultural and social themes.

                                In the aftermath of World War II, the hub of world Jewry shifted from Europe to America. Albrecht’s talk looks at the cultural context in which many Jewish émigré architects and designers from Europe in the 1930–40s were welcomed and embraced into the creative communities that sprang up around the U.S.—including Black Mountain College, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis, and Pond Farm in Guerneville, California. 

                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                About the Speaker:

                                Donald Albrecht is an independent curator who has organized exhibitions for the Getty Center, Library of Congress, Museum of the City of New York, and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, among others. He served as curator of the exhibition Designing Home: Jews and Midcentury Modernism at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco in 2014.

                                  About the Program:

                                  This recording of the Art Deco Society's Mondays at the Movies Cinema Chat—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—transports you back to the 1930s, when Americans found relief from the stress of everyday life by escaping into Hollywood’s glamorous dream worlds. 

                                  Sign up now to view our premiere event with co-authors of Screen Deco: A Celebration of High Style in Hollywood, Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers, screen and discuss one of the most stylish and elegant early 1930s romantic comedies, Trouble in Paradise. As you watch Ernst Lubitsch’s 1932 visual delight, you will revel in its witty dialogue, lavish fashions, and what film historian Theodor Huff called “the last word in Modernistic décor.” The over-the-top Art Deco home of wealthy Parisienne Kay Francis, where much of the action is set, is a visual feast for Deco enthusiasts! 

                                  Following the film Mandelbaum and Myers lead you through Trouble in Paradise’s saucy premise, where partners-in-crime, Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins, set out to fleece Francis of her jewels and her millions––until that annoying affliction called love threatens to get in the way. Our speakers also discuss how this film showcases Director Lubitsch’s mastery of sexual innuendo and subtle interplay that came to be known as “the Lubitsch touch.”

                                  This video event includes:

                                  • An introduction of the film by Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers
                                  • The film screening
                                  • An in-depth exploration of the film by Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers
                                  Even though this event is recorded, it includes the live film screening and presentation that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                    The Art Deco Era: French World’s Fairs and Ocean Liners Video Event


                                    About the Program:

                                    The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of recorded illustrated talks inspired by our Destination Deco program continues with this exciting “visit” to Paris with architectural historian, Pascal Yves, head of the Paris Art Deco Society.

                                    In his illustrated talk, presented from his Paris home, Pascal surveys French Art Deco innovations during the 1920s and 30s, focusing on the importance of French World’s Fairs and Ocean Liners––two of our favorite topics. 

                                    In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––Pascal uses works of two major French architects of the period, Roger-Henri Expert and Pierre Patout, as points of reference as he takes us through important design undertakings of the 1920s and 30s. You will see many tantalizing aspects of the Paris 1925 L’Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes; the 1931 Exposition coloniale international; and the 1937 Exposition internationale des arts et techniques dans la vie moderne. And to make this presentation even more engaging, he also highlights France’s most stunning Art Deco ocean liners, SS Île de France, SS L’Atlantique, and SS Normandie.

                                    Pascal concludes by explaining the impact and influence that these monumental French projects had on America’s 1930s World’s Fairs.

                                    This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                                    About the Speaker:

                                    After studying architecture at Versailles and at the University of Illinois, Pascal Yves participated in the construction of the EuroDisney Park in the 1990s. Since 2000, he alternates administrative work and teaching at the Paris-Malaquais school of architecture, part of the Paris School of Fine Arts. In 2014, he slowed down his teaching to found the Paris Art Deco Society.

                                    About the Paris Art Deco Society:

                                    This talk is a wonderful introduction to the work of the Paris Art Deco Society (PADS), established in 2014, for those interested in the arts and lifestyle of the interwar period. It brings together specialists and amateurs to share and learn about Art Deco in Paris and the arts and lifestyle of the interwar period there and around the world. PADS offers conferences, tours, and other cultural or festive events, and is committed to the protection of the Art Deco buildings and sites in and around Paris.

                                      Telling the Art Deco Story of Sunnyside Video Event

                                      About the Program:

                                      We are excited to take our Telling the Art Deco Stories of our Neighborhood's programs digital so that you can explore New York's wonderful Art Deco enclaves with the Art Deco Society of New York––from anywhere! 

                                      Sign up today to join us on a web-based tour of rarely explored interwar architectural treasures of Sunnyside Queens, led by architectural historian, Matt Postal.

                                      In this online tour we will explore how, like many New York neighborhoods, Sunnyside grew exponentially in the early twentieth century due to the development of mass-transit rail services; roadways, such as Queens Boulevard; and in this case, the completion of the Queensborough Bridge in 1909. Almost all of the buildings in Sunnyside were either built before or during the height of the Art Deco style. Many of the sites we will see feature richly decorated façades, entrances, and lobbies.

                                      Join us as we delve into the renowned buildings such as:

                                      • The Golden Gate Apartments, easily recognized by its iconic black and gold terra-cotta entrance
                                      • The Beautifully restored Packard Towers
                                      • Back-to-back twin apartment buildings with lovely Deco detailing
                                      • Sunnyside Gardens, hailed for its innovative design and a subject of study among architecture students worldwide
                                      and more!

                                      Even though this tour is online, it will include a live PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                                      About the Guide:
                                      Our guide, Matt Postal, is an architectural historian, licensed New York City tour guide, and researcher and writer of designation reports for the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Postal also lectures about architecture
                                      and teaches graduate level classes on the nineteenth and twentieth architectural history in New York.

                                        Queer History of Prohibition Video Event


                                        About the Program:

                                        This recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—gives a fascinating look back at Prohibition, 100 years after it began! 

                                        As the ‘20s begin to roar again, there are a surprising number of similarities between the 1920s and the 2020s, particularly for LGBTQ Americans. In this video presentation, historian and playwright Daniel Hurewitz invites us to reconsider the lost history of Prohibition. 

                                        In part, the story is one of widening tolerance for and even celebration of gender-defying performers. As a “Pansy Craze” swept from Times Square to Hollywood, it made celebrities out of folks like the drag performer Jean Malin, the bawdy tuxedo-clad singer Gladys Bentley, and the sexually adventurous Mother of the Blues, Ma Rainey; it even landed a lesbian drama on Broadway. 

                                        And yet, at the same time, the end of Prohibition in 1933 brought new forms of censorship and moral regulation into American popular culture and nightlife––ones that increasingly drove LGBTQ individuals out of the mainstream, and into segregated isolation.  

                                        So, register now for this engaging illustrated talk to explore how the Prohibition Era both brought to a peak a long era of American tolerance for same-sex intimacy, but then slammed the door loudly to mark the start of something new and less welcoming.

                                        This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                        About the Speaker:

                                        Daniel Hurewitz is both a playwright and an associate professor of history at Hunter College. As a scholar, his work has focused on the development of 20th-century U.S. gendered and sexual identities and the emergence of LGBTQ politics. His first book, Stepping Out (1997), traced a history of LGBTQ life across Manhattan, presented as a series of walking tours. His second book, Bohemian Los Angeles and the Making of Modern Politics (2007), was named a Los Angeles Times bestseller and focused on the communities of L.A. artists, leftists, and queer activists who helped give birth to the American LGBTQ rights movement. More recently, he has been working to translate the scholarship of LGBTQ history to wider audiences. In part, that has involved working with the New York City Department of Education and local teachers to develop curriculum that they can bring into their classrooms. In addition, he has been writing plays about queer American history, such as “Reclamation” and “Nancy F***ing Reagan,” which was named “Best New Play” for the 2019 Los Angeles theater season.

                                        Sign up today to join us on a web-based, virtual "tour", led by architectural historian, Matt Postal, that will lead us through the many remarkable Art Deco buildings of the enclave that is Brighton Beach.

                                        A closer examination into the interwar past of this neighborhood, on the Coney Island peninsula, shows it to be one of the city’s top destinations for Art Deco explorers. As we stroll through this Art Deco Mecca we will discover residential and commercial buildings that rival those found in the more well known Grand Concourse neighborhood in The Bronx. Like its Bronx counterpart, Brighton Beach is filled with magnificent examples of the modern architectural vocabulary that we know today as Art Deco. As we will see in this online program, there are stunning interior spaces behind many of these beautifully preserved façades that we will have a chance to "visit."

                                          In part one of our two part online "tour", architectural historian Anthony W. Robins, will lead us through superb interwar architectural treasures of The Grand Concourse––The Bronx's famed Art Deco thoroughfare! 

                                          In this event we will explore the history of this Art Deco showplace that was once part of Westchester County and became the first area outside of Manhattan Island to be absorbed into New York City in 1874. As we wind north for 4.5 miles in this web-based "tour", we will see how The Concourse rises above surrounding streets and makes a gently curving path in a plan meant to rival the Champs Élysée in Paris. In the years after World War I, the Concourse developed into a fabled residential district, now famous for its Art Deco apartment houses––including perhaps the best-known, No. 1157, the “Fish Building,” with its over-life-size fishbowl mosaics. The façade and its interior are truly a site to behold!

                                          In this online event we will see how West Bronx Deco takes in a variety of building types, and extends to either side of the Concourse. Our virtual walk will focus on the apartment buildings at the southern end of the Concourse, and will also include highlights such as:

                                          • The Bronx Post Office with its stunning Ben Shahn murals
                                          • The monolithic Bronx County Building, now home to the borough’s government offices
                                          • The Park Plaza Apartments, off to the west on Jerome Avenue, which were designed by Marvin Fine as the first Art Deco apartment building in the borough

                                          As a special treat, our “visit” to the Bronx will also include hearing Marvin Fine talking about the Park Plaza, thanks to an interview with our tour guide taped 40 years ago. Marvin Fine, in the office of Horace Ginsbern, designed not just the Park Plaza but also many of the Grand Concourse wonders, including the Fish Building!

                                            Monday at the Movies Cinema Chat: A Free Soul Video Event


                                            About the Program:

                                            The Art Deco Society of New York's series, Mondays at the Movies Cinema Chat, transports you back to the 1930s, when Americans found relief from the stress of everyday life by escaping into Hollywood’s glamorous dream worlds. In these unique events, experts in the golden age of cinema will screen and discuss wonderful 1930s and 40s escapist fantasies with ADSNY’s audience.

                                            In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—the co-authors of Screen Deco: A Celebration of High Style in Hollywood, Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers, return to screen and discuss MGM's A Free Soul (1931). 

                                            In this pre-Code drama, sparks fly when Norma Shearer, the impulsive daughter of an attorney, begins an affair with dashing gangster Clark Gable, whose display of brutish magnetism elevated him to stardom in this film! Strikingly gowned in revealing pre-Code outfits; Shearer inspired Photoplay magazine to write: “Her clothes are breathtaking in their daring. But you couldn’t get away with them in your drawing room.” As if the clothing and actors weren't steamy enough, we will also see how suggestions of passion in the boudoir made this one of the year's big hits.  

                                            This Video Event also includes a post-film discussion by Mandelbaum and Myers exploring how, in addition to this film being Clark Gable's first major on-screen role, Lionel Barrymore won an Oscar for the role of a wealthy alcoholic attorney unable to control his free-living daughter, and Norma Shearer was also Oscar-nominated. 

                                            This video event includes:

                                            • An introduction of the film by Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers
                                            • The film screening
                                            • An in-depth exploration of the film by Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers
                                            Even though this event is recorded, it includes the live film screening and presentation that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

Mandelbaum is the co-founder, with Carlos Clarens, of Photofest, a library of images of the performing arts. Myers is the author of the biography Uncle Mame: The Life of Patrick Dennis. A former film publicist with credit on over sixty feature films, he is now a literary agent, delighting in bringing other authors to print.

                                                Mumbai: Art Deco Jewel of India Video Event


                                                About the Program:

                                                The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of web-based illustrated talks inspired by our Destination Deco program continues with an exciting virtual “visit” to Mumbai with Atul Kumar, head of the Art Deco Society in Mumbai.

                                                In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—we'll explore how Mumbai, India's financial and film capital, boasts the world's second-largest collection of Art Deco buildings.

                                                Atul introduces us to how Mumbai, then known as Bombay, developed its unique Art Deco vernacular in the early 1930s and continued to utilize the style until the mid-1950s. Through his visual presentation, he leads us on a virtual tour of beautiful Art Deco buildings from this period.

                                                We learn how this era was a significant moment for India, which was marching towards becoming an independent nation with many ideas of what it meant to be Indian in the modernizing new world. These notions were explored and expressed through architecture in the form of relief work, design features, and building elements. The presentation allows us to identify and appreciate these details, which were conceived by first-generation Indian architects in collaboration with homegrown contractors and independent artists.

                                                Atul explains how the variations in Art Deco ornamentation are critical markers that help develop a deeper understanding of the many social, cultural, and economic narratives that played a role during this historical period of nation-building. 

                                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                                                About the Speaker:

                                                Atul Kumar is the Founder Trustee of Art Deco Mumbai. For the past 15 years, he has been actively working on these issues especially within south Mumbai’s Art Deco heritage precinct. He is passionate about conservation, civic and governance issues, nature, the environment, and saving Mumbai’s iconic modern living Art Deco heritage. He is also on the board of several Trusts that work for preservation of open spaces, civic issues, and social welfare. 

                                                About Art Deco Mumbai Trust:

                                                This talk is a wonderful introduction to the work of the Art Deco Mumbai Trust (ADM), which has created the only online repository dedicated to Mumbai’s Art Deco. It works to raise awareness and appreciation of Deco while advocating for its conservation. Founded in 2016, its ongoing photo documentation has identified over 650 Art Deco buildings across the city. As part of its outreach, the not-for-profit Trust hosts walking tours, public lectures, and workshops with schools and colleges. A member of ICADS, it recently launched Mumbai’s Deco in partnership with Google on Google Arts & Culture platform.

                                                  In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—architectural historian, Anthony W. Robins, leads us on a tour of the Art Deco architecture of northern Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood.

                                                  Set high on a hill, its streets lined with attractive six-story Art Deco apartment houses, Washington Heights has more in common with West Bronx neighborhoods just across the Harlem River than with the rest of Manhattan. Throughout the online tour, we see how many of the same architects who worked on New York's famed Art Deco thoroughfare, the Grand Concourse, also designed apartment buildings on or near Fort Washington Avenue. Names such as Horace Ginsbern, Jacob Felson, and Israel Crausman may seem familiar to those of you who joined us on our online tour of the Grand Concourse.

                                                  We also see two taller apartment buildings, by Boak & Paris, which offer a more idiosyncratic take on the modernism of the 1930s. This Video Event includes a one-story taxpayer, and one of the city’s few frankly Deco subway entrances. But the star attraction will be the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist (now the Hebrew Tabernacle of Washington Heights), one of perhaps a dozen or so Art Deco houses of worship anywhere in the city!

                                                  This recorded Video Event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                    About the Program:

                                                    Enjoy this Video Event that features the first installment of ADSNY's series of online illustrated talks, Art Deco 101, in which educator and Art Deco expert, Kathleen Murphy Skolnik, gives an in-depth look at Art Deco architecture and design.

                                                    In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—we kick off this series by answering the questions: What is Art Deco? Where did it come from? Why did it disappear? And what accounted for the resurgence of interest in Art Deco in the late 1960s?  

                                                    Get your ticket to join Kathleen for this recorded illustrated talk that answers these questions and gives an insightful and entertaining look into the origins of Art Deco.

                                                    This Video Event uses beautiful images to look at how:

                                                    • Scholars have interpreted Art Deco over the fifty years since the term first came into use
                                                    • The influence of nineteenth and twentieth century styles and design movements contributed to the style's emergence
                                                    • The International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, the decorative arts exposition held in Paris in 1925, brought Art Deco to the attention of an international audience
                                                    • Interest in Art Deco waned in the middle of the twentieth century and was revived in the later part of the century

                                                    This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                      About the Program:

                                                      The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of web-based illustrated talks inspired by our Destination DecoTM travel program continues with an exciting virtual “visit” to Texas with David Bush and Jim Parsons of Preservation Houston.

                                                      In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—we explore how Texas began to shed its rural agrarian past and develop an economy based on manufacturing, shipping, and oil in the 1920s and 30s. We see how state and city leaders worked to build an appropriately modern image for the Lone Star State—and to our delight, Art Deco proved the ideal design language!

                                                      Sign up today to see how Texas built Deco skyscrapers, courthouses, and railroad stations; modernistic schools and hospitals went up in smaller towns; and a statewide movement to mark the centennial of Texas independence from Mexico resulted in the construction of Fair Park in Dallas, which today is one of the world’s only surviving 1930s-era exposition grounds.

                                                      During this Video Event, David Bush and Jim Parsons discuss some of the state’s most stunning modernistic designs and how architects regionalized national and international design movements deep in the heart of Texas.

                                                      This recorded Video Event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device. 

                                                      About the Speakers:

                                                      David Bush, Preservation Houston's Executive Director, was born and raised in New Orleans, where he developed his interest in historic architecture. He holds a master's degree in historic preservation from Middle Tennessee State University and has worked professionally in preservation since 1990, spending most of his career with Galveston Historical Foundation and Preservation Houston.

                                                      Jim Parsons, a Texas native, puts a passion for the state's history and architecture to work coordinating programs and educational outreach as Programs Director for Preservation Houston. In addition to his preservation work, Jim has written about and photographed cities across the United States as a freelance author, editor, and photographer.

                                                      David and Jim are the authors of four books on Art Deco architecture in Texas, including DFW Deco: Modernistic Architecture of North Texas (2017, TCU Press).

                                                      About Preservation Houston:

                                                      Preservation Houston (PH) is Houston’s only citywide nonprofit historic preservation education and advocacy organization. Since it was founded in 1978, PH has voiced strong support for better public policy and protection of the city’s irreplaceable historic resources. Its members, volunteers, and staff have been instrumental in the adoption of a citywide preservation ordinance, the designation of local landmarks and historic districts, and the development of a preservation ethic in the Bayou City. As a member of ICADS, PH has also worked to raise awareness of Art Deco design in Houston and across Texas.

                                                        About the Program:

                                                        The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of web-based illustrated talks inspired by our Destination DecoTM travel program continues with an exciting virtual “visit” to Manila––a remarkable Southeast Asian city whose architecture dramatically changed when the Art Deco aesthetic spread to Manila while a U.S. territory in the early twentieth century.

                                                        On this virtual tour we’ll visit Manila's remarkably rich, though largely unknown, collection of Deco architecture, including theaters, schools, sport facilities, funerary mausoleums, and so much more!

                                                        Our host, Ivan Man Dy, author and expert in the region’s unique Art Deco past, will explore the origins, history, architecture, and culture that shaped the early modern lifestyle in this tropical, Far-eastern city from the 1930's until after the end of the Second World War.

                                                        He’ll introduce us to the Filipino architects––many of whom attended Western universities––who embraced the Art Deco style and introduced it to the Philippine capital, where it flourished and thrived.

                                                        Even though this event is online, it will include a live PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                        About the Speakers:

                                                        Ivan Man Dy is a cultural and tourism professional and founder of the specialist tour outfit Old Manila Walks who has led thousands of participants on thematic historical walks around the city's historic neighborhoods since 2005.

                                                          About the Program:

                                                          In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—architectural historian Anthony W. Robins returns to host Part Two of this online exploration of the Bronx's famed Art Deco thoroughfare, the Grand Concourse! This virtual tour continues our winding "walk" up the gently curving path of the Concourse—which boasts a design plan meant to rival the Champs Élysée in Paris.  

                                                          On this virtual walking tour, Robins leads us up the northern end of the Concourse and also include notable buildings to the east. As we learned in Part One of this series, the Concourse developed into a fabled residential district, now famous for its Art Deco apartment houses. In this Video Event, we see more of these remarkable Art Deco apartment buildings, notably 1500 Grand Concourse, designed by Jacob Felson, one of the most active architects in the West Bronx. But, this online tour focuses mostly on Art Deco beyond the residential.

                                                          Highlights of this online tour include:

                                                          • Wagner Building, with its entrance suggestive of the Chrysler Building leading to one of the finest intact commercial lobbies anywhere in the city
                                                          • Dollar Savings Bank, whose clock tower, visible for miles around, is one of the Bronx’s true landmarks
                                                          • Bronx Zoo’s admired Rainey Gates, adorned with Paul Manship’s marvelous sculptures of Zoo residents including Buster, the giant Galapagos tortoise, and Jimmy, the shoe-bill stork
                                                          • Herman Ridder Junior High School, the school that the New York Times called “the first thoroughly modernistic school building” in New York
                                                          • One of the city's eleven mid-1930s “Play Centers” built by Robert Moses—the only one in the borough
                                                          • Orchard Beach and its grand curving Bathhouse
                                                          This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                  Robins will also discuss how the 1970s brought a massive reawakening of interest in New York’s Deco buildings, which survive today as prized remnants of a distant yet modern past that still help define the city’s visual identity.

                                                                  We know you will enjoy this immersion into the city ADSNY calls home. Click here for all the details about this program.

                                                                        This impressive presentation will show you Chicago like you've never seen it before! Click here for all the details about this program.

Join the Art Deco Society of New York for this virtual visit to Brooklyn that delightfully illustrates how the interwar years saw considerable Art Deco development throughout the borough––old brownstone neighborhoods not excepted!

                                                                            Throughout this Video Event we visit many buildings, with a special focus on:

                                                                            Concentrating on Rockefeller Plaza and 30 Rock in this 'city within a city', we explore the technological, economic, and social forces that shaped its form, decoration, and exuberant public spaces, while learning about the rich campaign to animate the Center with distinctive architectural design and superb works of art. And, we learn about the accomplished architects that wove together this complex of multiple buildings with an ambitious plan of incorporating period art, directed by the forward-thinking stewards of the Center––the Rockefeller family. 

                                                                            In this recorded virtual visit, we will explore Rockefeller Center's Art Deco architectural style and see the distinguished artworks that call Rock Center home. We see highly-celebrated sculptural works such as Paul Manship's Prometheus and Hildreth Meiere's Dance, Drama and Song roundels, in addition to lesser-known, yet equally impressive sculptural reliefs, murals, and so much more! 

                                                                            This visually stimulating online exploration concludes with a virtual tour of the beloved Radio City Music Hall––the performance center that inspired the Rockefeller Center project almost 100 years ago!

                                                                            This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

After receiving a Bachelors degree in Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis, she worked for architectural/urban design specialists, landscape architects, and various commercial and residential design firms. She credits studies with the esteemed architectural historian Reyner Banham for igniting her passion to interpret the built environment. Zelcer discovered the joy of entertaining audiences with tales of urban evolution after a stint in the Moth Storytelling Workshop, and has continued conducting tours during the Covid era with online tour offerings.

                                                                            In this fascinating and visually delightful recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––internationally renowned author and speaker on Art Deco, Peter Sheridan, explores how the global influence of the Art Deco design aesthetic became evident in Sydney’s architecture as well as in many other areas of daily life. 

                                                                            Sheridan begins his engaging presentation by sharing the history of Sydney and illustrating how it evolved much like the sprawling suburbia of Los Angeles, into a city rich with stunning examples of Art Deco, rather than like the designed cities of New York and Melbourne. 

                                                                            In this exploration we discover:

In these unique events, experts in the golden age of cinema will screen and discuss wonderful 1930s and 40s escapist fantasies with ADSNY’s audience.

                                                                              In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––the co-authors of Screen Deco: A Celebration of High Style in Hollywood, Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers, return to screen and discuss My Man Godfrey (1936). 

                                                                              You are sure to enjoy one of the 1930s daffiest romantic comedies, which underpins its nonstop laughs with a shrewd assessment of class conflicts and has acquired a renewed timeliness in our current ailing economy.

                                                                              In the film we will see how William Powell leaves his East River shantytown, where he had been living by his wits, to serve as butler to the overprivileged inhabitants of a swank Fifth Avenue mansion. Carole Lombard, never lovelier, is the scatterbrained heiress who pursues him, while rotund, gravel-voiced Eugene Pallette  plays her irascible father. 

                                                                              Following the screening, Mandelbaum and Myers will discuss how Gregory LaCava, noted for his improvisational directorial methods, kept the action swift and the satire sharp throughout the film and sprinkled the cast with a memorable array of lunatics. Our experts will also discuss the sets of the film––especially the extravagant nightclub that could only happen in Hollywood!

                                                                              This Video Event includes:

                                                                                Join the Art Deco Society of New York and celebrated architectural historian Francis Morrone for our special online tour celebrating how much we love New York's Art Deco!

                                                                                Though most people associate New York's great Art Deco skyscrapers with midtown Manhattan––since the style coincided with the creation of Manhattan's new central business district––this exciting online tour features the over-the-top Deco gems of downtown Manhattan.

                                                                                As you will discover in this engaging recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––some of New York's most important Art Deco buildings are downtown, in the Civic Center and Financial District areas. You are sure to enjoy our in-depth look at two of Ralph Walker's masterpieces, 140 West Street and 1 Wall Street, as well as Clinton & Russell's 70 Pine Street and Sloan & Robertson's 29 Broadway. Our tour will also include notable non-Deco buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, such as 40 Wall Street. Mostly, however, we will comb the streets of the Financial District for lesser-known gems, such as Buchman & Kahn's 111 John Street and much more.

                                                                                Register today to see this special event while you still can! This event will only be available for a limited time and will be removed from our Deco On Demand library on March 30, 2021.

                                                                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

Norton, 2011), as well as of architectural guidebooks to Philadelphia and to Brooklyn. He is the author of the forthcoming 6th edition of "Blue Guide New York." In addition, Morrone is the recipient of the Landmarks Lion Award of the Historic Districts Council, the Arthur Ross Award of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, and of NYU's Excellence in Teaching Award, and Travel and Leisure Magazine named him one of the thirteen best tour guides in the world. His specialties are 19th-century architecture, public sculpture, and Edith Wharton, and, for the last few years, alternative modernisms of the 20th century.

                                                                                As a noted expert on Art Deco radios with one of the leading radio collections in the world, Peter Sheridan shares his expertise and passion with us as he reveals the untold and extraordinary contributions of famous 1930s industrial designers to the development of the table-top radio and the subsequent world-wide spread of the Art Deco style.

                                                                                In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—Sheridan beautifully illustrates the major influence Deco and Streamlining had on the evolution of radio design through the 1930s and 1940s. In addition, we also explore the worldwide spread of the Deco radio as a symbol of the new machine-age, bringing not only Deco styling and color into the home, but changing the listener from the family to the individual.

                                                                                Sign up today to enjoy Peter Sheridan’s fabulous presentation featuring superb examples of the most rare and beautiful radios ever made!

                                                                                  In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––professor, author, and curator, Kendall Brown, takes us on an in-depth exploration of Japanese Art Deco as an expression of national power.

                                                                                  By examining unique Japanese Deco works of the interwar era, we discover the power of the Deco style to convey Japan’s emerging identity as a global power. This recorded web-based program surveys architecture, arts, and mass media, analyzing art forms as different as cigarette packaging and a tower dedicated to connecting “heaven and earth” to convey Japan’s growing militaristic fervor.

                                                                                  You are sure to enjoy this fascinating international exploration into an often overlooked Deco past. Get your ticket today!

His interests in history, public art, and mankind’s use of ornament fueled his creation of a company devoted to the preservation of architectural legacy in communities throughout the nation.

                                                                                    In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––educator and Art Deco expert, Kathleen Murphy Skolnik, continues ADSNY's Art Deco 101 series with an exploration of the expressive murals of the New Deal Era––an important aspect of the United States' Art Deco heritage.

                                                                                    In this video event we see how, soon after the inauguration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as president in 1933, Congress began enacting legislation to establish a series of federally funded programs intended to put unemployed Americans, including artists, back to work.

                                                                                    The murals and other art created under these government employment programs are often referred to as “WPA art,” a reference to the Works Progress Administration. In this beautifully illustrated presentation, Skolnik will dive into how the Federal Art Project of the WPA was only one of several valuable work relief programs for artists during the New Deal era. Together, we examine these significant programs, discuss the differences between them, and provide examples of beautiful murals created for schools, post offices, airports, and other public and government buildings under each of them.

                                                                                    This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                      In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––author and Ralph Walker expert, Kathryn Holliday, gives an in-depth look at some of Walker’s most groundbreaking Art Deco works in New York City and Newark in the context of the 1920s and 1930s. The talk also positions Walker as the team-driven architect he really was––part of a large corporate firm that prized seamless collaboration amongst architects, artists, and engineers in the service of American business.

                                                                                      You won't want to miss this special inside look at the conversion of Walker's stunning Art Deco Telephone Buildings throughout New York and Newark into over-the-top luxurious residences now known as Walker Tower, Stella Tower, One Hundred Barclay, and over the river in Newark, Walker House.

                                                                                      You will be delighted to see how each of these conversion projects thoughtfully reimagined historic telephone buildings, designed by Ralph Walker and his firm, into highly sought-after luxury residential towers with sumptuous, original Art Deco detailing. In this program, Holliday highlights how each project has taken a slightly different approach to their conversion, yet all use Ralph Walker as a brand––making him a symbol of Art Deco glamour and sophistication.

                                                                                      You'll very much enjoy learning about this turnabout for a talented architect who fought for recognition in his own day and who would be pleased with the admiration his Art Deco treasures receive in today's world.

                                                                                        In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—design historian and author, Marilyn F. Friedman, explores early efforts by designers in America to develop a unique response to the modern design featured at the 1925 Paris Exposition.    

                                                                                        This video event gives an in-depth look at how, although the United States did not participate in the 1925 Paris L’ Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, the Exhibition was still a catalyst for the development of modern design in America. 

                                                                                        Through the use of exceptional archival images that bring to life the modern interior design of the period, Friedman shares the many ways that Americans were exposed to the European modern design shown at the Exposition, including:

                                                                                        • An exhibition of objects from the Exposition that traveled to museums around the country
                                                                                        • Portfolios of French modern design that were available to designers in the U.S. 
                                                                                        • How department stores brought objects from Europe to encourage experimentation 
                                                                                        • A commission appointed by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover to visit and report upon the Exposition issued a report that was widely circulated

                                                                                        Don't miss this online recorded event that shows how all of these efforts encouraged designers in America to develop their own iterations of modern design, which were showcased in a variety of venues in the late 1920s and found their way into the homes of adventuresome Americans!

                                                                                        This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

Grow shows examples of how the style could be seen everywhere––from A (apartment blocks) to Z (Melbourne Zoo)––as well as in department stores, cinemas, residences, churches, banks, schools, factories, government buildings and office blocks, and even in the famous train called the Spirit of Progress. 

                                                                                            Sign up now to see how the introduction of new facing materials, such as terracotta and terrazzo, colorized the city and how steel reinforced concrete revolutionized the building processes. Grow highlights designs featuring these new materials as well as murals, large expanses of glass, stylized building signs, and cantilevered balconies.

                                                                                            He also looks into 1920s and 30s social changes that helped shape Melbourne, including motor cars, the role of women as consumers, fashion, dance and music, clothing, and of course cocktails!

                                                                                            In celebration of the release of his latest book, MELMO—Modernist Architecture in Melbourne, Grow also gives a glimpse into how modernism continued to shape Melbourne following WWII and how the city looked to the United States for inspiration to meet postwar demands for manufacturing, housing, sun controls, commercial and civic buildings, leisure activities, and car-based activities. 

                                                                                            This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                              Join the Art Deco Society of New York and esteemed automobile expert Ken Gross for a wonderfully illustrated presentation exploring striking automobiles and motorcycles as masterpieces of Art Deco design. This event gives an exceptional look at how these exquisite designs evoke an era fueled by an optimistic view of modernity, and a desire to convey social status through conspicuous consumption. 

                                                                                              Sign up today for an expert-led program showing how these remarkable vehicles exemplify the Art Deco style offering the perfect balance between classical cohesion and machine age progressivism. In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––Gross illustrates how the Art Deco style became prevalent in the world of automobiles, especially in a few select marques and models from around the globe:

                                                                                              • With so many of the best Art Deco-styled automobiles built in France, we discuss the sensuous, teardrop Talbot-Lago T150C-SS, along with voluptuous cars by Bugatti such as the 1935 Type 57 Aerolithe that was a styling and streamlining tour de force in its day, and more from Voisin, Delahaye, Peugeot, Panhard–Levassor, and Hispano–Suiza
                                                                                              • You see how Italians embraced streamlining, as evidenced by the sleek Alfa Romeo Berlinetta
                                                                                              • From the United States we focus on a rare Stout Scarab, which presaged the modern minivan, a once-controversial Chrysler Imperial Airflow, and an experimental aerodynamic sedan from the Bendix Corporation
                                                                                              • We also explore Czechoslovakia’s aircraft-inspired Tatra T77

                                                                                              …and more!

                                                                                              Our engaging presentation focuses on how, from 1930 to 1942, automobile designs became more organic, and streamlined, emulating the classic teardrop shape thought, at that time, to be perfect for cheating the wind. Gross shows us how the results were brought to life in cars with startling shapes that appeared as though they were ready to be embraced and caressed––even if they weren’t noticeably faster than their predecessors, they looked very fast! We also see how cautious consumers tentatively embraced and then accepted this brave new look.

                                                                                              This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                                This one-of-a-kind online event, by designer and educator Silas Munro, gives a dynamic look into an emerging generation of young black writers, poets, and artists, during what would come to be known as the Harlem Renaissance.

                                                                                                This engaging and informative video event––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––starts with a look at how, in 1925, Alain LeRoy Locke was asked to be guest editor of an issue of Survey Graphic, the richly designed periodical covering sociological and political issues. We see how the infamous issue, titled “Harlem: Mecca of the New Negro”, Locke’s first publication connecting this emerging generation, became the basis for the seminal 1925 anthology The New Negro, marking a shift from a focus on Black bodies to Black consciousness and Black thought.

                                                                                                Munro continues his visually exciting exploration with a look into how a collective of young, black, and some queer artists would come together to write, design, and self-publish FIRE!!––a publication devoted to younger Negro artists. FIRE!! was conceived by Langston Hughes and Bruce Nugent, who were both featured in The New Negro. They enlisted Wallace Thurman to edit the publication, and commissioned other important black artists to contribute. Don't miss this exploration of the magazine’s varied content of diverse genres including essays, design, illustration, plays, and poetry. Tragically, the headquarters of FIRE!! burned down after the completion of the first issue, but not before its content made equally fiery controversy.

                                                                                                This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                                  Join the Art Deco Society of New York and author Brian D. Hoefling for a witty dive into the history, science, and mixology of the most American of creations, the cocktail!

                                                                                                  Nothing recalls the Jazz Age like a good cocktail. And, while at the moment, we can’t be together in-person to meet over cocktails, we can all enjoy and expand our skills and knowledge with this engaging and informative event. So, join us as we explore the importance of the cocktail to Roaring 20s New York City and follow along with three how-to demonstrations throughout the event to master and enjoy some of the period’s delicious libations in your own home. 

                                                                                                  In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––we look at the history and development of the cocktail, as Hoefling explores the origins of many famous Jazz Age cocktails that became part of the era's lore and fame. We also discover how cocktail culture fits within the greater American ethos during Prohibition and the reign of the speakeasy. 

                                                                                                  If you'd like to follow Hoefling’s demonstrations and taste the cocktails for yourself throughout the recording click here for the list of cocktails and their ingredients.

                                                                                                  This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                                    Known internationally as a symbol of elegance and luxury, Manhattan’s Waldorf-Astoria is one of the world’s most famous hotels. Its reputation as a host to political leaders and movie stars is matched only by the renown of its cuisine and soaring Art Deco architecture.   

                                                                                                    In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––historian David Freeland takes us beyond the hotel's glittering image, using rare photos and documents to reveal the full extent of the Waldorf’s contribution as a shaper of twentieth century life and culture. 

                                                                                                    Along the way, we gain a behind-the-scenes understanding of the fascinating ways the Waldorf-Astoria––as an institution devoted to hospitality––influenced the social and political life of the city. Taking us back to a time when American hotels saw themselves as leaders within their communities, Freeland illustrates how the Waldorf contributed to some of New York’s most dramatic events, while fulfilling its institutional mission as a host to the metropolis.

                                                                                                    This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                                              In this full video recording, we survey the architecture of Queens during the 1920s and 30s, with an emphasis on Art Deco and also exploring some byways along the way. On tap are looks at notable buildings such as:

                                                                                                              The Art Deco Society of New York is proud to present this special video event with celebrated curator, Barbara Haskell, who reveals the profound impact Mexican muralists had on their counterparts in the United States from 1925–1945. 

                                                                                                              In this recorded video presentation—which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule—Haskell begins with a look at how Mexico underwent a radical cultural transformation at the end of its Revolution in 1920, which established a new relationship between art and the public, giving rise to art that spoke directly to the people about social justice and national life. As we explore stunning period works, we see the many important ways Mexican muralists inspired American artists both to create epic narratives about American history and everyday life and to use their art to protest economic, social, and racial injustices. 

                                                                                                              This dynamic video event explores how, during the interwar years, numerous American artists traveled to Mexico, and the leading Mexican muralists of the period––José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros––spent extended periods of time in the United States, executing murals, paintings, and prints; exhibiting their work; and interacting with local artists.

                                                                                                              Sign up today to see how the model presented by Mexican muralists of the Deco period galvanized artists in the United States who were seeking to break free of European aesthetic domination to create publicly significant and accessible native art.

                                                                                                              This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint—with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                                                  In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––Bob leads us through the fascinating family history and celebrated accomplishments of Rose Iron Works, until recently one of the best kept secrets of the Art Deco era. In this event, you'll discover their magnificent Art Deco creations from the 1930s, which have long been the centerpieces of important Deco collections and exhibitions. This visually stunning program is your chance to get your own behind the scenes glimpse into Rose studio's noteworthy role in the design and production of famed decorative Deco metalwork.

                                                                                                                  As the grandson of Rose Iron Works founder, Bob has continued the family legacy into this century’s 20s. You won’t want to miss Bob's special presentation which also includes anecdotal gems related to the celebrated Art Deco pieces that were loaned to the recent blockbuster exhibition, The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s––including the iconic 1930 Muse with Violin Screen. In addition, Bob shares seldom seen drawings created by Paul Feher, Rose Iron Work’s resident artist in the 1930s. He also leads us on a tour of Rose Iron Work’s headquarters, which is in itself a museum displaying several hundred examples of the firm’s top-notch design. Bob also provides a preview of new Deco pieces, specifically the conversions of 1930's works.

                                                                                                                  This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                                                  Bob Rose is the current and third family generation president of Rose Iron Works, the acclaimed leader in high end decorative and Deco metalwork. The Northeast Ohio blacksmith studio, founded in 1904 has played a significant role in the design and production of many key metalwork items. Bob calls upon a formal background in Mechanical Engineering combined with a lifetime of artistic involvement to direct the activity of both the decorative work and that of Rose Metal Industries, a leading job shop and contract manufacturer of industrial and military items. It is one of Bob’s passions to teach about his family’s contribution to design and craftsmanship during the Deco heyday.

Orr of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York and Zorian Clayton of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London to explore how striking Art Deco posters promoted the public transportation system known as the London Underground.

                                                                                                                    In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––we see how railway stations became urban art galleries as posters expressed new ideas and styles of modernism in the early twentieth century. This richly illustrated two-part presentation showcases eye-catching transport posters by E. McKnight Kauffer and by notable women artists including Nancy Smith and Vera Willoughby.

                                                                                                                    In conjunction with Cooper Hewitt’s recently opened exhibition Underground Modernist: E. McKnight Kauffer, this online presentation celebrates the provocative work of E. McKnight Kauffer, the leading poster designer for the London Underground in the interwar period.

                                                                                                                    Join us as architectural historian and Deco expert, Tony Robins, leads us on a web-based tour exploring the varied Art Deco architecture and design from Murray Hill to Gramercy Park.

                                                                                                                    Although the low-scale residential neighborhood of Murray Hill, tucked in the shadows of Midtown skyscrapers, still shelters many of its residents in brownstones and townhouses dating back as far as pre-Civil War days, this virtual visit features some of New York's most notable examples of Art Deco architecture and design.

                                                                                                                    This unusual collection of buildings highlights how the Art Deco style was utilized to create unique architectural treasures––each different from the next. On this walk through Manhattan we will see:

                                                                                                                    In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––Grementieri illustrates how, despite its location at “the end of the world,” Argentine Heritage from the Interwar Period displays an eclectic collection of architecture and sites that emerged from a cultural melting pot. Together, we discover how the many trends and materials of Argentine Deco flourished in houses, high-rise buildings, shops, movie theaters, banks, museums, libraries, schools, cemeteries, gas and power stations, bridges, and more.

                                                                                                                    Highlights of the video event include the Kavanagh and Minetti Buildings, the Opera and Gran Rex movie theaters, in addition to the monumental work of Italo-Argentine architect Francisco Salamone in the Pampas.

                                                                                                                    Kick off the new year with this exciting online event that will celebrate New York City's Art Deco Treasures and the 40th Anniversary of the Art Deco Society of New York's incorporation!

                                                                                                                    On January 11, 1982, a dozen admirers of Art Deco gathered in the Murray Hill apartment of interior designer Henriette Nathan to hold the first official meeting of the members and directors of the newly incorporated Art Deco Society of New York. Interest in the modernistic styles of the 1920s and 30s had been growing worldwide since a seminal Paris retrospective exhibition of 1966, and a number of New York's Deco superstars––Radio City Music Hall, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building––had found shelter under the city's Landmarks law of 1965. But the revival of interest in Art Deco was still in its early days. Forty years later, Art Deco may be the single most recognizable architectural style in New York City, where more than 80 individual Deco buildings have won Landmarks protection, along with dozens more in historic districts, including a stretch of the Grand Concourse.

                                                                                                                    In this celebratory web-based program, Anthony W. Robins––who joined ADSNY while the Society was still getting organized––will trace the extraordinary growth of New York's fascination with Art Deco architecture, and its rocky road to acceptance in historic preservation circles. Robins witnessed much of that story while on staff at the Landmarks Commission (where he wrote the designation reports of half a dozen Deco landmarks). The talk will revisit resounding victories, from rescuing Radio City in the late 1970s to the interiors of the Waldorf-Astoria in 2017. It will highlight major restorations, from the Empire State Building's lobby to the Orchard Beach Bathhouse. But it will also recount some of the lamentable losses––from Bonwit Teller, demolished in 1980, to the McGraw Hill Building lobby, stripped to the walls in 2021––a reminder that there is still work to be done.

                                                                                                                    Even though this program is online, it will include a live PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

Robins has been guiding natives and visitors to the city’s wonders of steel and stone for twenty-five years. He has led hundreds of walking tours of New York history and architecture. A founding member of ADSNY, Robins created the Society’s original tour program in 1981. In 2017, the Guides Association of New York City honored him with the “Guiding Spirit Award.” He lectures on New York history and architecture to audiences both in the United States and abroad, teaches various levels of students about architecture and the development of New York City, and has authored five books and a number of short guide books, as well as many newspaper and magazine articles. His latest award-winning book, New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture, explores Art Deco throughout the five boroughs.

From the legendary Grand Concourse to Orchard Beach, architectural historian Matt Postal will celebrate Jazz Age gems throughout New York City’s northernmost borough.

                                                                                                                            We are all aware that the 1930s saw much of the world bogged down in the depths of the Great Depression. In marked contrast, the 1930s saw a golden age of architecture and design. As such, it was also a golden age for public school construction in New York City, a decade when many new forward-looking facilities were erected throughout the five boroughs.

                                                                                                                            Architectural historian Matt Postal will present an illustrated talk on Art Deco schools built under superintendents Walter C. Martin and Eric Kebbon, as well as several trailblazing colleges and universities. Richly embellished facilities like Herman Ridder Junior High School in Morrisania, the High School of Needle Trades (now Fashion Industries) in Chelsea, and Brooklyn High School for Homemaking (now Clara Barton) in Crown Heights, all outstanding examples, will receive special attention. We will also look at certain paragons of higher education, such as modernistic structures designed for the New School for Social Research and Hunter College.

                                                                                                                            Even though this program is online, it will include a live PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

                                                                                                                              The Art Deco Society of New York is proud to announce an exciting virtual “visit” to Texas with David Bush and Jim Parsons of Preservation Houston.

                                                                                                                              This online presentation will explore how Texas began to shed its rural agrarian past and develop an economy based on manufacturing, shipping, and oil in the 1920s and 30s. We will see how state and city leaders worked to build an appropriately modern image for the Lone Star State—and to our delight, Art Deco proved the ideal design language!

                                                                                                                              Get your ticket today to see how Texas built Deco skyscrapers, courthouses, and railroad stations; modernistic schools and hospitals went up in smaller towns; and a statewide movement to mark the centennial of Texas independence from Mexico resulted in the construction of Fair Park in Dallas, which today is one of the world’s only surviving 1930s-era exposition grounds.

                                                                                                                              During their web-based illustrated presentation, David Bush and Jim Parsons will discuss some of the state’s most stunning modernistic designs and how architects regionalized national and international design movements deep in the heart of Texas. A look at Deco design in the Hill Country and its two principal cities, San Antonio and Austin, will set the stage for our Destination Deco visit to the Hill Country in March 2024.

                                                                                                                                Once a separate city, today New York’s most populous borough, Brooklyn flourished mightily during the 1920s and ‘30s. In this presentation, you will see samples of Brooklyn’s best Deco: apartment houses that can rival the Bronx; a phone company headquarters by Ralph Walker that can rival his lower Manhattan behemoths; a small but stunning skyscraper by one of the architects of Rockefeller Center; a department store, an elevated subway station and more.

                                                                                                                                  It was a truly glamorous age, a progressive age and a busy age. It was the era of Art Deco when ocean liners highlighted the 1930s, an age of midnight departures, Champagne in salons, steamer trunks and the likes of Marlene Dietrich sailing off for a long summer in Europe.

                                                                                                                                  New ocean liners were continuously created for routes around the world: trans-Atlantic, South America, Africa, and other far-off destinations transported by some of the biggest, fastest & most luxurious liners ever – such as the Rex, the Normandie & the Queen Mary.

                                                                                                                                  So, as the whistles are sounding -- join Bill Miller, "Mr Ocean Liner," as he takes us down maritime memory lane.

He has written over 100 books on passenger ships, from early steamers, immigrant ships and liners at war to the fabulous interiors of legendary ocean liners and their highly collectible artifacts. He is a popular guest speaker on cruise ships, having made hundreds of voyages and visited ports from Alaska to Antarctica. He has also hosted ocean liner events at Lincoln Center, been a curator at South Street Seaport, appeared in numerous television programs, and been the recipient of numerous awards.

                                                                                                                                    On January 11, 1982, a dozen admirers of Art Deco gathered in the Murray Hill apartment of interior designer Henriette Nathan to hold the first official meeting of the members and directors of the newly incorporated Art Deco Society of New York. Interest in the modernistic styles of the 1920s and 30s had been growing worldwide since a seminal Paris retrospective exhibition of 1966, and a number of New York's Deco superstars––Radio City Music Hall, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building––had found shelter under the city's Landmarks law of 1965. But the revival of interest in Art Deco was still in its early days. Forty years later, Art Deco may be the single most recognizable architectural style in New York City, where more than 80 individual Deco buildings have won Landmarks protection, along with dozens more in historic districts, including a stretch of the Grand Concourse.

                                                                                                                                    In this program that you can view in person or live on zoom, Anthony W. Robins––who joined ADSNY while the Society was still getting organized––will trace the extraordinary growth of New York's fascination with Art Deco architecture, and its rocky road to acceptance in historic preservation circles. Robins witnessed much of that story while on staff at the Landmarks Commission (where he wrote the designation reports of half a dozen Deco landmarks). The talk will revisit resounding victories, from rescuing Radio City in the late 1970s to the interiors of the Waldorf-Astoria in 2017. It will highlight major restorations, from the Empire State Building's lobby to the Orchard Beach Bathhouse. But it will also recount some of the lamentable losses––from Bonwit Teller, demolished in 1980, to the McGraw Hill Building lobby, stripped to the walls in 2021––a reminder that there is still work to be done.

                                                                                                                                    This recorded Video Event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.

Robins has been guiding natives and visitors to the city’s wonders of steel and stone for twenty-five years. He has led hundreds of walking tours of New York history and architecture. A founding member of ADSNY, Robins created the Society’s original tour program in 1981.

                                                                                                                                      A central aspect of the culture and lifestyle of the 1920s and 30s was the creation and consumption of food. You could live in an Art Deco world where everything from the soup to the nuts was inflected with the style. As a pervasive mode, Deco shaped a total environment, of which food and drink were an integral part. The presentation will focus upon some of the more striking results of this encounter, including menus to peruse, books to instruct, places to eat, food to purchase, and drinks to imbibe.

                                                                                                                                      This event is dedicated to the life and legacy of ADSNY’s dear friend and mentor, Michael J. Smith, the design pioneer who founded two landmark galleries in New York City specializing in American design from the 1920s-40s: Depression Modern and Adelaide. After his death in 2016 ADSNY established an event each year on his birthday, May 8. This year's topic is particularly fitting, as Michael loved to entertain in true Deco style with crystal and dinnerware from the Normandie, home baked confections, as delicious as they were visually stunning.

                                                                                                                                        At its best and most collectible, Art Deco jewelry is a form of timeless wearable art, with an emphasis on strong design, technical brilliance, and skilled craftsmanship. During this very special event, however, we will discover how the origins of Art Deco jewelry assumed social and historical significance far beyond their physical expression.

                                                                                                                                        The world was changing during the Jazz Age at an unprecedented pace—particularly for women, who experienced new post-war freedom, crossing gender lines, and breaking taboos. The intersection of this social evolution, coupled with rapid technological advances of the 1920s, created a moment of genuine originality and modernity.

                                                                                                                                        Join Ben Macklowe, President of Macklowe Gallery, at a special members-only wine reception and talk at the Macklowe Gallery to learn more about this moment in jewelry history, and to discover rare and exceptional jewels by Mauboussin, Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and more.

                                                                                                                                        Prior to our lively and informative talk we'll have a wine reception and opportunity to see on display one of the most important and comprehensive collections of early 20th Century Decorative Arts in the world, carefully selected for their artistic value, rarity and historic importance.

                                                                                                                                        About the Presenter:

Over the years Macklowe has placed decorative works of art in major public, private and corporate collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Dallas Museum, and the Australian National Gallery, among others. In 1995, founders Lloyd and Barbara Macklowe were honored as Collectors of the Year by the Virginia Museum. Now under Ben's leadership with his wife Hillary, Macklowe Gallery has re-dedicated itself to educating and promoting the next generation of innovative collectors. Ben, recognized in the industry as a thought leader, lectures regularly at Christie's, Sotheby's and appraisal industry events. Together with the gallery's team of curatorial experts, Ben and Hillary have authored books on Art Nouveau sculpture and jewelry that have become standards in the field.

Their online Highrises Collection now comprises nearly 200 landmarks in 30 states, from Minnesota to Alabama, and more than 60 cities, from Buffalo to San Francisco — and New York City, too, of course.

                                                                                                                                        Launched as a Kickstarter project, their new oversized coffee table book was fully funded in 24 hours and raised more than double its initial target. Highrises has won rave reviews from the Chicago Sun-Times, San Francisco Magazine, and Time Out, among others, and has attracted millions of views on Instagram, X, and TikTok.
