Deco at 100

Deco at 100 January 18 – June 15, 2025 The Nassau County Museum of Art’s original Deco at 100 exhibition coincides with the 100th anniversary of the 1925 Paris International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts (Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes) which publicly launched the movement. It is our direct follow-up to the well-received 2023 exhibition, Our Gilded Age. Comparably, it will link the period’s signature innovation in the decorative arts, Art Deco, to the fine arts. Concentrations of works by such artists as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Fernand Léger, Guy Pène du Bois, Gaston Lachaise, Elie Nadelman, and Reginald Marsh along with art deco stylists of poster art and graphics, and photography will convey the Art Deco spirit along with its furniture, decorative arts, and fashion. Like Our Gilded Age, the social scene of Long Island’s Gold Coast, and its personalities – both upstairs and downstairs – will be portrayed, along with the ongoing relationship with the immediate urban context of New York with its skyscrapers and deco-styled architecture. Also on view Louis Comfort Tiffany: New Acquisitions 2025. Museum Admission $15 Adult, $10 Senior, $5 Students and children 4+ years.
