Personnel, 1993-1996

A survey of Japanese Design since 1950 was jointly organized by Felice Fischer and Kathryn Bloom Hiesinger. Kisho Kurokawa installed over 250 objects ranging from furniture, housewares, and consumer electronics to posters, packaging, and clothing for the exhibition. Later, the show travelled to the Galleria dell'Triennale in Milan, Italy; the Stadtische Kunsthalle in Dusseldorf, Germany; Centre Georges Pompidou, Musee National d'Art Moderne in Paris, France; and the Suntory Museum Tempozan in Osaka, Japan. Funding was provided through grants from the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation; The Pew Charitable Trusts; the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency; the Japan Foundation; The Japan-United States Friendship Commission; and a grant from The Commemorative Association for the Japan World Exposition (1970) to promote world peace.
