MR Chair

I feature the Birmingham Museum of Arts' Vanguard Views exhibit here.  Today we return with a look at a chair I'm sure you recognize.  This classic  Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 1926, is part of the museum's permanent collection.  I would love one of these in my home!

Vanguard Views

The Vanguard Views Exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art caught my eye recently.  I got so caught up in photographing this vintage motorcycle, I completely forgot to photograph the information about it. Not to worry, I contacted Graham Boettcher, the BMA's curator for American art and he had all the answers.  This exhibit was actually curated by their UAB curatorial intern Bethany McClellan, who Graham credits with the idea and the exhibit itself.

He also provided me with this information about the motorcycle: 

Gnome et Rhône M1, 1934
