Exhibition on French wallpaper

The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Museum is holding an exhibition on The Art of French Wallpaper Design, from 16th November to 11th May 2025.  

The exhibition offers new insights into the design, printing, and use of French wallpapers, borders, fragments, and design drawings. These rare samples are drawn from a remarkable collection of French wallpaper that was assembled by French artist Charles Huard (1874–1965) and his wife, American writer Frances Wilson Huard (1885–1969), now in the care of the RISD Museum. More than 100 examples reveal the creative process and extraordinary technical skills involved in producing French wallpaper in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, presenting an invaluable design resource for artists today. 

Curated by Emily Banas, associate curator of decorative arts and design.
