The Object in Its Place: As Designed by Ted Cohen

The Museum of Craft and Design is especially proud to present a distinctive, celebratory exhibition honoring the extraordinary exhibition designer Ted Cohen (1928-2021). Brimming with artwork from a selection of collectors and artists spaced as vignettes, in addition to a special feature on Ted himself, The Object in Its Place: As Designed by Ted Cohen is a glimpse into his process, his passion, and his discipline. Despite a global pandemic and living with considerable pain, he was enlivened by his final creative endeavor and emerged from retirement for this exhibition about his life's work in conjunction with the book The Object in Its Place: The Art of Exhibition Design by Ted Cohen, written by Signe Mayfield. Visitors will see works in wood, glass, fiber, and ceramics by major artists, including Mildred Howard, Peter Voulkos, Robert Brady, Marilyn Levine, Mary White, Clifford Rainey, and Therman Statom - all presented in Ted's unique, illuminating style.
