Please join us to celebrate Dr. Daniella Ohad, who will deliver brief remarks with Jason T. Busch, Becky and Bob Alexander, Director and CEO of the American Folk Art Museum, at 7:00pm. She will be on site signing copies of her new book 100 Milestones in Modern Design.
About the Book
Design is not just about objects—it’s about ideas that have changed the world. From William Morris’s Red House and the Great Exhibition of 1851 to the Bauhaus, the iPhone, and 3D-printed bridges, 100 Milestones in Modern Design traces the decisive events that transformed the way we live, work, and see the world. Drawing on decades of scholarship, curator and educator Daniella Ohad presents a panoramic and provocative view of design’s evolution as a social, technological, conceptual, and aesthetic force.
Through 100 concise, visually rich entries, Ohad connects the dots between invention and ideology, showing how design has responded to—and influenced—industrialization, urbanization, war, feminism, consumerism, globalization, climate change, and sustainability.
