Equal in Goodness:
Ohio Decorative Arts 1788-1860
January 29 – June 5, 2011
Andrew Richmond, Curator
Equal in Goodness: Ohio Decorative Arts 1788-1860 celebrates the courage and creativity of the pioneers who settled Ohio. Within a decade of undertaking an arduous journey – leaving behind all that was familiar – they were erecting fine houses and public buildings and creating a material culture: furniture, textiles, glass, silver and ceramics equal to that produced anywhere. A wide range of institutions, specialists and collectors have contributed to this rare, comprehensive look at early design and craftsmanship from all corners of Ohio.
