“Alexander Girard, Reverberations Forever” celebrates the timeless influence of Alexander Girard, whose work is woven tightly throughout the town of Columbus, Indiana. As a close friend of the visionary Millers, J. Irwin and Xenia, Girard displayed a masterful touch across the iconic Miller House with his ability to blend art, architecture, and whimsy into everyday life. Impossibly, the colors, forms, and patterns hold a freshness that continues to inspire generations of artists and designers globally.
Fondly curated by Rick Valicenti and Suzie Shin, friends of the Columbus design community for over a decade, “Alexander Girard, Reverberations Forever” brings together a diverse group of artists and designers whose works reflect Girard’s spirit. In a unique gesture of community involvement, Columbus and Chicago residents were invited to lend original works by Girard from their collections, allowing direct connections between now and the Midwest’s artistic heritage.
The exhibition displays conscious or unconscious reverberations of Girard’s work as it continues to spark optimism in the broader realm of art and design. Girard’s legacy echoes for generations.
