During the ten years that took America from the effervescent heights of the Jazz Age to the Depths of the Depression, New York State was the driving force behind the creation of 20th century modernism. Speaker Lori Zabar is an art, decorative arts and architectural historian and independent curator with a long association with the American Wing of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has conducted a pioneering exploration celebrating the Empire State as the avant-garde in fine art, fashion, technology, decorative arts, architecture and music that resulted in the century’s most important design revolution, often called Art Deco today.
