Warren McArthur: American Modernist

On August 13th, Wright and LAMA present Warren McArthur: American Modernist, Property from the Fisher Landau Center for Art, New York, celebrating a truly innovative designer. After working on the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, McArthur moved to Los Angeles amid the Great Depression and pioneered the use of tubular steel in furniture design. As McArthur?s reputation grew, his furniture could be found in the most sophisticated interiors - including residences, retailers, and offices - across the country, and he continues to be celebrated today. Once McArthur shifted operations to New York in the 1930s, he became a designer to the stars with clients including Clark Gable, Marlene Dietrich, and prominent companies. During World War II, McArthur redirected all production to support military efforts and his designs fell out of favor until gaining a dedicated new following in recent decades. In addition to various McArthur examples, the auction features two Rudolph M. Schindler chairs designed for McArthur from Sardi?s restaurant in Hollywood.
