Modernism: a self-conscious break with the past and a search for new forms of expression / the deliberate departure from tradition and the use of innovative forms of expression that distinguish many styles in the arts and literature of the 20th century.

20th Century Cincinnati is the Queen City’s annual retrospective of the forward looking design trends introduced between the First World War and the Computer Age.  Quiet evolutions and clamorous revolutions in the arts, architecture, furnishings, decor and fashion worlds….. Art Deco, Streamline, Futuristic, Mid-Century Modern and Op/Pop…..the century’s classic forms – many from the century’s signature designers – all will fill the floor when 20th Century Cincinnati returns to the Sharonville Convention Center on the weekend of February 27-28, 2010.

Best known for its selection of home furnishings and lighting, the show’s fifty vintage-modern dealers also feature period decorative objects and housewares including art glass, pottery, paintings, posters, metalwares, textiles and dinnerware. Fashion specialists offer vintage clothing and apparel, exotic accessories, and a popular mix of the era’s precious and costume jewelry. From investment quality to fun & funky, 20th Century Cincinnati offers something for every collector’s budget.  Buy with confidence: this knowledgeable group pledges that all merchandise is  “guaranteed as represented.”
