To see more of Girard, the first major Alexander Girard retrospective will be heading to Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in May 2019. Girard designed the patterns for different purposes. Plus and Step were originally created in 1960 as printed napkins for a restaurant in the Time-Life Building in New York City, while Check was a pattern made in 1956 for Georg Jensen’s table setting. Circles, from 1952, and Edges, from 1962, were taken from a drawing and collage, respectively, and transformed into textiles.
