The Structure of Light:

Richard Kelly and the Illumination of Modern Architecture

Displaying a selection of drawings and photographs, largely from the Kelly Papers held at Yale’s Manuscripts & Archives collection, the exhibition is a celebration of the 100th birthday of one of the most successful and influential lighting designers in the history of modern architecture. Richard Kelly, who graduated from the Dept. of Architecture of Yale’s Sch. of the Fine Arts in 1944, has more than 300 lighting projects to his credit, among them the Lake Shore Drive Apartments in Chicago and the Seagram Building in New York, both designed by Mies van der Rohe; Philip Johnson’s Four Seasons restaurant; the New York State Theater; the Wiley House, in Westport, Conn.; and Johnson's own Glass House, in New Canaan, Conn. On view Aug. 23-Oct. 2.

The gallery is open to the public Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
