Happy Birthday, Eva
Today marks the 103rd birthday of Eva Zeisel, one of the greatest Modernist designers in my humble opinion. Zeisel is still actively at work designing the curvilinear forms she has become so well known for, and we wish her many, many more years of happiness and productivity. To celebrate this day, Zeisel collector and scholar Steve Basile has created a breathtaking gallery of Zeisel's work as it was presented in the Eva Zeisel Centenary Retrospective Exhibit at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, California, back in 2007. Including some of her earliest work and continuing through to contemporary designs, this gallery is packed with objects I've never seen before, and is definitely a great way to honor a lifetime of greatness.

About the Archives ...
These news archives span back to Ars Longa's inception in August of 2004. Due to this longevity, many of the older posts may feature external links that have gone dead. Over time websites move pages and some even close shop altogether. I apologize for these inconsistencies, but in the interest in maintaining a full archive even entries whose links have expired will remain in place on Ars Longa.
