A room is the most personal, humanly scaled expression of architecture. Designed by architects and decorators as either an integral part of a larger structure or as a singular jewel and refuge, the room has been painted, drawn, etched, and photographed as a two dimensional art object for centuries.

As well, architects’ designs for furniture, carpets, lighting, and wall coverings have been reappraised as graphic artworks in their own right. They are regarded as abstractions of the larger art object, the room as realized.

ArchiTech presents an exhibition and sale of drawings, engravings, lithographs, and photographs of rooms and furnishings from the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries.

Historic artists featured are England’s Owen Jones and America’s Frank Lloyd Wright, George Mann Niedecken, and Alfonso Iannelli.

Contemporary work available will be drawings by Elizabeth Ockwell as well as photographs of the Stockholm Royal Palace by John Kimmich-Javier and European ceilings by Lars Luick.
