Ruth Reeves, Radio City Music Hall Carpet

Item Details

Description

USA, 1932-1972
fibers
50" x 38"45 3/4" x 33"

Carpet segment designed by Ruth Reeves under the direction of Donald Deskey for Radio City Music Hall in 1932. Reeves studied in France under Fernand Leger prior to becoming one of the foremost textile designers of the Art Deco period along with contemporaries Ilonka Karasz and Henriette Reiss.

This segment, comprised of six rectangular design sections forming the complete repeat pattern seen throughout the building, was removed from a wall during the 1980 renovation, thus its unworn condition. Management of Radio City oversaw the deliberate destruction of most carpeting, soiling it with white paint. Few segments were salvaged.

Provenance: Gift of the Vice President of Radio City; Private Collection
