Tastemaker Erno Fabry in a self-portrait copied after the ca.1935 original by an artist identified only as Horowitz. From a private collection.

Erno Fabry was one of the most prolific tastemakers to successfully transmit modern design to the post-World War II American home, but his work has gone largely unrecorded. Modernism at Evergreen: Erno Fabry (1906-1984) is the first exhibition devoted to the Czech-American architect and designer. This student-curated retrospective features approximately 45 never-before exhibited pieces of furniture, architectural plans, drawings, textiles and photographs which reveal that Fabry was a powerful force in the architectural theory and practice of his era. The exhibit opens with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, May 18, at Evergreen Museum & Library and is on view through Oct. 25 as part of regular guided tours.
