Limited-edition Prints: Eva Zeisel

Posted in Design & Decor By Aida on February 23, 2006

The Shop at Cooper-Hewitt is pleased to offer two limited-edition prints by celebrated design legend Eva Zeisel, the recipient of the 2005 National Design Award for Lifetime Achievement, given in recognition of an individual who has made a profound, long-term contribution to contemporary design practice.
In 2005, for the first time in her career, Zeisel added printmaking to her design repertoire by collaborating with KleinReid to create a pair of limited-edition silkscreen prints.
Eva Zeisel, Magic Language #1 and #2, 2005, silkscreen print, edition of 300. Shadowbox, archival frame, 32×24” each frame. Purchased as a pair with same editioned number. $1,100. Currently on view at the Shop at Cooper-Hewitt.
Born in Budapest, Hungary, Zeisel’s career is international in scope, spanning more than 75 years and 100,000 realized designs. Known for lyrical and shapely ceramics, she describes her approach to design as “the playful search for beauty.” In 1946, she was the first designer in America to create an all-white Modern dinner service, which was honored with a special exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She was also first to teach ceramics as industrial design, rather than handicraft, at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. At the age of 99, Zeisel is still designing for manufacturers such as Acme, Crate & Barrel, KleinReid, and Namb.
