<p>I'm kicking myself that I didn't come up with an illustration as you so aptly have, Norah. I saw the documentary and we basically do not realize how respected she is internationally.</p>

<p><strong>Interestingly the museum also hosts probably the premier exhibition of the work of Irish-born designer Eileen Gray whose reputation grows continually.The <em>Eileen Gray</em> exhibition is on permanent display at the Decorative Arts & History site, Collins Barracks. The exhibition posthumously realised one of Gray’s last ambitions – to have her work brought back to Ireland. Regarded as one of the most influential 20th Century designers and architects, the exhibition includes such important items as the adjustable chrome table and the non-conformist chair. The exhibition also values Gray on a personal level, including family photographs, her lacquering tools, and personal ephemera. It illustrates an account of her professional development from art student in London and Paris to mature, innovative architect. The exhibition honours the memory of Eileen Gray, modern self-taught architect and designer.</strong></p> Sorry to miss this.... enjoytag:pleineire.ning.com,2015-01-01:4851125:Comment:1463912015-01-01T13:33:48.047ZTerence Gillespiehttps://pleineire.ning.com/profile/TerenceGillespie
