"Modern Gothic: The Inventive Furniture of Kimbel and Cabus, 1863-82 traces the timeless American immigrant success story of Anton Kimbel and Joseph Cabus. The enterprising New York City design team pioneered an inventive take on Modern Gothic furniture of near-infinite variety, for a broad range of customers, and defined a significant aesthetic in the United States. The Brooklyn Museum, which retains the largest institutional holdings of Kimbel and Cabus's work, is the first to tell their story with new scholarship and fresh insight into this important yet little-explored partnership. A fully illustrated catalogue co-published with Hirmer Press will accompany the exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum that will be on view July 2, 2021-February 13, 2022 . The publication is co-authored by Barbara Veith, Guest Curator, Brooklyn Museum, and Medill Higgins Harvey, Associate Curator of American Decorative Arts and Manager, Henry R. Luce Center for the Study of American Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, with additional contributions by Max Donnelly, Curator of Nineteenth-Century Furniture, Victoria and Albert Museum; Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, Anthony W. and Lulu C. Wang Curator of American Decorative Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art; and Dr. Melitta Jonas, Kunsthistorikerin, Berlin"-- Provided by publisher.
