With Eyes Opened: Cranbrook Academy of Art Since 1932
The Cranbrook Academy of Art is telling its story with the release of a limited-edition book, With Eyes Opened: Cranbrook Academy of Art Since 1932. Susan York is among the 200 artists and designers included in the book and coinciding exhibition, documenting this storied cultural institution and its “radical experiment in the education of artists.” Founded in 1932, the Cranbrook Academy of Art has shaped contemporary design in America like few other institutions. The exhibition opens June, 2021, at the Cranbrook Art Museum, bringing the story of Cranbrook to life on its gallery walls, with more than 250 works across a variety of fields — architecture, ceramics, design, fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and more — will be featured.
