Spotted: George Nelson Exhibit at the School of Architecture

The current exhibition at the School of Architecture is a multidimensional retrospective of George Nelson's designs. Featuring furniture, print design, video, and constructed models, the exhibition provides an immersive view of the iconic zeitgeist that Nelson helped create.

This traveling show was organized by the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany. In its Yale adaptation, the show is captioned by School of Art graduate student Jessica Svendsen's bold, simple graphics.

The show is up through 26 January 2013. I highly recommend going to see it in person -- photographs really don't capture the experience of being surrounded by these outstanding examples of American modernist design.
