Furniture by Edward Durell Stone can be seen at the UA Fine Arts Center Gallery through Feb. 16.

Furniture by internationally known post-World War II American architect Edward Durell Stone is the focus of an exhibition of mid-century modern furniture open through Feb. 16 at the University of Arkansas Fine Arts Center Gallery.

Fayetteville-born Stone, who started as at Bauhaus modernist, took an influential 1940s road trip and visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin and Yellowstone National Park, which got him interested in design that was responsive to context.

Hicks Stone, Stone’s youngest son, will give a lecture on Stone’s work at 7 p.m. Jan. 27 in the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center. A brief segment of a forthcoming AETN documentary on mid-century modern architecture also will be shown.

In addition, Terry Gibson, a basket maker and descendant of the craftspeople who did the weaving on the furniture on exhibit, will present a demonstration of split-oak basket weaving from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Feb. 8 in the Fine Arts Center Gallery.
