Virginia Hamill, one of the first American women in the field of industrial design, called herself a "decorative art consultant." Under this broad title, she gained prominence as an exhibition organizer & designer, retail merchandiser, product stylist, & interior designer & educator. She was influential in her use of department store exhibitions to introduce European modernist design to mainstream American consumers. Hamill may be best known as the Executive Director of R.H. Macy & Co.'s 1928 International Exposition of Art & Industry, for which she scouted, selected, & organized hundreds of examples of furniture & objects by a wide range of international designers. Hamill also recognized the practicality of collaborating with American designers & manufacturers as they modernized their products. ++The default shipping is USPS Parcel Select Ground but Upsidegroove offers many other shipping options.
