Papermade Modernism

Monday, October 10, 2005—Friday, September 29, 2006
Wells Fargo Center, Seventh St. and Marquette Ave., Minneapolis
Free Exhibition

This exhibition includes furniture, lamps, vases, and sculptures by artists such as Frank Gehry, Isamu Noguchi, Red Grooms, and Charles and Ray Eames, among others.
