Pritam & Eames
Pritam & Eames is an art gallery associated with the American Studio Furniture movement[1] which was established in 1981 by Bebe Pritam Johnson and Warren Eames Johnson in East Hampton, New York.[2][3]
In 1990 to 1991, the gallery partners interviewed 14 of the artists who were early and continuing contributors to the gallery, which included:
- James Krenov,
- Wendell Castle,
- Jere Osgood,
- Judy Kensley McKie,
- David Ebner,
- Richard Scott Newman,
- Hank Gilpin,
- Alphonse Mattia,
- John Dunnigan,
- Wendy Maruyama,
- James Schriber,
- Timothy S. Philbrick,
- Michael Hurwitz,
- Thomas Hucker
These conversations were turned into a 2013 book, Speaking of Furniture: Conversations with 14 American Masters.[4] In 2014, Bebe and Warren Johnson received the Award of Distinction from The Furniture Society.[5] In the spring of 2015, Pritam & Eames re-located its exhibition space to The Gallery at Somes Sound on Mount Desert Island, Maine.[6]
