A rare Kem Weber chair shows, the European side of American modernism.
Nothing is more exciting to a passionate connoisseur--even a seasoned expert who has helped redefine his chosen specialty--than discovering an elusive object he'd despaired of ever finding, let alone being able to own. But when that rare opportunity presented itself last fall to the New York-based modern design aficionado John C. Waddell, he--true to form--acted fast and won one of the top prizes of his distinguished collecting career: a long-lost wooden dining chair made in 1927-1928 to the designs of Kem Weber, one of the underappreciated giants of American design and a pivotal figure in the transmission of modernism from Europe to the United States.
