new: Henry James Exhibition at the Gardner Museum

The Henry James and American Painting exhibition explored the rich and complex friendships between writer Henry James, Isabella Stewart Gardner, and American artists in their social circle including John La Farge, James McNeill Whistler, and John Singer Sargent through a wide variety of media—paintings, photographs, manuscripts, books, and letters. The exhibition design evoked an intimate salon setting, with a large curtain drawn back with gold rope and tassels, armchairs, a chaise lounge, low tables, and a large carpet, inviting visitors into a world where writing and the visual arts intersected as expressions of creativity. In addition to the exhibition design and layout, IKD was responsible for graphic and lighting design.
