Greene & Greene at the Huntington Library

Ted Wells of Living : Simple passes on this tidbit:

Starting February 23, four Greene & Greene pieces from the Dr.
William T. Bolton house
will be on display at the Huntington Library in
San Marino, California: The entry hall table, the two entry side chairs
(the exquisite, tall, Mackintosh-like designs), and the Barlow Bush
curio cabinet. This is the first time these four pieces have been
together since they left the Bolton house. It is incredible to see how
the pieces visually interact when displayed as they were meant to be
seen by the Greene’s. This display will be at the Huntington Library
until June 30, 2006.

The
Thorsen library table (not the dining table) is the piece that is
joining the Victoria & Albert Museum’s International Arts &
Crafts exhibit opening at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. If you
did not travel to London to see this exhibit, and you will be near the
Bay Area anytime before June 30, it is worth seeing this show. In
addition to the Thorsen pieces, there are other G&G objects on
display including the Blacker House breakfast room hanging light and a
Blacker arm chair, along with hundreds of Arts & Crafts objects
from around the world.

Also: it’s a long way off, but the Huntington will also present The Architecture and Decorative Arts of Charles and Henry Greene from October 2008 to January 2009.
