Exhibition Files
, 1922-1974
0.8 Linear feetBox 34, OV 49; Reels 5737-5738
Most of the files found here consist of photographs, clippings, printed material, and scattered letters. Breuer's participation in the exhibitions ranged from designing a single chair, to designing rooms for an apartment or an entire house specifically to be shown in an exhibition, to designing the exhibition building itself, to his being the subject of an entire retrospective exhibition. Because of the difficulty of determining the extent of Breuer's participation in each exhibition, all the exhibition files have been included in one chronology.
This series has been divided into 40 chronologically arranged file groups.
