The OPulent Eye of Alexander Girardis the first major retrospective to explore the work of Alexander Girard (1907-1993), one of the most innovative American designers of the twentieth century.

His stores, showrooms, exhibitions, and houses introduced modern design to millions of Americans, while his restaurants dazzled the public with their theatricality. The exhibition taps into today's intense fascination with mid-century architecture and design as well as growing interest in Girard.
