Russel Wright American Designer Pamphlet

Postcards : Russel Wright, Mid-century Modern, Design

 

Russel Wright is renown for his 1950's designs and creating a home for the modern family.

This 5 fold pamphlet was produced in 1983 by the Gallery Association of New York State. There are 5 pages that fold together providing 10 pages of printed information. Closed, it measures 9 1/2" tall and 6 1/2" wide. The inside has a brief biography of Mr. Wright and his vision for his designs. Other headings include: Early Designs, Ceramic Design, and American Way. The back has a list of manufacturers, the dates some of these designs were produced as well as a listing of stores selling his items. There is also a black and white picture of Mr. Wright and of Dragon Rock. The last "page" states it was printed in 1983, also in pencil is written 1983 retd.

In very good condition, there is a 1/2" tear along the fold between the first and second pages, but the pamphlet remains sturdy and tight.

A wonderful history lesson in short form!
