Eero Saarinen: Shaping the FutureOn a four-year international tour of Europe and the United States, the landmark exhibition Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future-the first major museum retrospective of this Finnish-born American architect's short but prolific career-will be jointly presented at the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts September 13-January 4.
Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future features never-before-seen sketches, working drawings, models, photographs, furnishings, films, and other ephemera from various archives and private collections.
Exploring more than 50 of Saarinen's built and unbuilt projects, the exhibition provides a unique opportunity to consider his innovations in the use of new materials and construction techniques within the larger context of postwar modern architecture.
In this collaborative presentation, the Walker Art Center will feature Saarinen's furnishings and residences as well as his designs for churches and academic and corporate campuses, while the Minneapolis Institute of Arts will present his designs for airports, memorials, and embassies as well as his early work within the context of its modernist design collection.
