His self-titled label produced eveningwear and daytime styles for the wholesale, ready-to-wear market, from 1961 to 1991.

 Akron Art Musuem Pattern ID
Akron Art Museum
Saturday, January 23rd - Sunday, May 9th

Running from January 23, 2010 - May 9, 2010, at the Karl and Bertl Arnstein Galleries, "Pattern ID".

Certain patterns seem unmistakable: the geometric diamonds of a Navajo blanket, the neatly arranged vines of damask wallpaper, or the interlocking initials of the Louis Vuitton logo. But what happens when you transform the classically sober brown and tan Louis Vuitton pattern into an explosion of bright colors intermingled with Japanese animation forms? Or pair oversized hip-hop clothing with damask wallpaper patterns? Combine fussy Victorian style clothing with vibrant, African prints? The meanings and origins of these patterns are transformed into something new, called Pattern ID.

Pattern ID features fifteen artists of diverse origins who have seized on pattern and dress as powerful visual connectors between themselves, their histories and their audiences.

For more information call 330-376-9185.
