Deco at 100 coincides with the 100th anniversary of the 1925 Paris International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, which publicly launched the movement. Curated by NCMA’s Chief Curator Franklin Hill Perrell, and    co-curated by Assistant Curator Alex C. Maccaro, Deco is our direct follow-up to the well-received 2023 exhibition, Our Gilded Age. Comparably, it will link the period’s signature innovation in the decorative arts, Art Deco, to the fine arts.

It also encompasses significant cultural advancements during Long Island’s Roaring Twenties/Jazz Age movement, including votes, jobs, and the automobile for women, the beginnings of suburbia with commutation for work, and planned residential communities, which all defined the era, while the following decade brought economic reversals and the WPA program.

Concentrations of works by such artists as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Fernand Léger, Guy Pène du Bois, Gaston Lachaise, Elie Nadelman, and Reginald Marsh along with Art

Deco stylists of poster art and graphics, and photography will convey the Art Deco spirit along with its furniture, decorative arts, and fashion.

Like Our Gilded Age, the social scene of Long Island’s Gold Coast, and its personalities – both upstairs and downstairs – will be portrayed, along with the ongoing relationship with the immediate urban context of New York with its skyscrapers and deco-styled architecture.

Deco at 100 is generously sponsored in part by the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation.
