"The need for a more complete showing of the work by the more enterprising contemporary [American decorative] designers has resulted in the first exposition in the American Designers' Gallery. It is the first complete showing of the united opinion of fifteen of the most experienced designers in America. In addition, it includes the work of several other designers now active and fairly may be said to give the first view of contemporary art in America"--Foreword.
Edgar A. Levy is credited in the foreword as one of the chief supporters of the exhibition.
Includes brief biographical sketches for fifteen of the exhibiting designers.
