Sarasota Art Museum celebrates 100th anniversary of Art Deco with exhibition of 100 rare advertisement posters

The Sarasota Art Museum will open an exhibition titled "Art Deco: The Golden Age of Illustration" on August 31, featuring 100 rare fine art advertisement posters from the 1920s and '30s. The posters, created by early master graphic designers such as A. M. Cassandre and Leonetto Cappiello, are drawn from the Crouse Collection, considered the most significant private collection of its kind. The exhibition also includes sculptural works, cocktail shakers, and Art Deco furniture on loan from the Wolfsonian Museum at Florida International University.
