Konstantin Grcic: Decisive Design

Konstantin Grcic: Decisive Design, on view in the Abbott Galleries of the Modern Wing from November 18, 2009 through January 24, 2010, is specifically devoted to the portfolio of Grcic and his firm, Konstantin Grcic Insdustrial Design (KGID), and brings together more than 100 of his objects, including furniture, products, tableware, and office accessories.

Grcic is known for his logical designs, driven by an honesty of materials and an appropriateness of production methods.

His diverse output re-examines how an object should look, function, and what its inherent relationship to the user should be.

The works featured at the Art Institute, while spanning his career, are united by his foundational principles of simplicity, irony, and subtle humor.

"The Art Institute opened the Modern Wing with a renewed commitment to showcase the work of designers who are at the forefront of progressive thinking and practice in the field of design," said Zoë Ryan, Neville Bryan Curator of Design at the Art Institute and curator of the exhibition.

"In this regard, there is no better inaugural design exhibition than the work of Konstantin Grcic.

Equally attentive to form and function, Grcic's inventive projects offer insightful and intelligent commentaries on the history and nature of design itself and the ways in which we interact with everyday objects."
