Carole A. Fewell Gallery | August 6 – November 8, 2021

This exhibition encompasses a selection of watercolors and bronzes by American architect and graphic designer Richard Saul Wurman. Over forty paintings and twenty sculptures are on display at the Carole A. Fewell Gallery of the Coral Gables Museum. Multiple copies of Vitra’s 1967 Panton Chair are randomly arranged throughout the space. They not only set an interesting conversation with the art but also serve as a backdrop for a series of wireless-mic conversations with presenters in different fields that will take place during the time of the show. This program, in the style of Mr. Wurman’s renowned conferences, will be organized by the Museum in collaboration with Mr. Wurman and Books & Books.

Throughout his life, Richard Saul Wurman (Philadelphia, PA., 1935) has challenged traditional forms of presenting and understanding facts. He has lectured extensively, and published nearly a hundred books on different subjects, with a focus on ‘information architecture’ (a term that he coined.) He created an array of conferences where great minds from the most varied backgrounds converged, including the popular TED, from 1984 to 2002, and a spinoff TEDMED Conferences from 1995 to 2010. His trailblazing, multidisciplinary approach to Knowledge and Understanding has granted him numerous accolades, including several honorary doctorates and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Smithsonian, Cooper-Hewitt in Design.

Mr. Wurman’s latest milestone is the Wurman Center for Understanding Understanding at RIT, Rochester Institute of Technology in New York State which is currently in development.
