London’s Barbican Art Gallery will bring a major retrospective on iconic designers Charles and Ray Eames to the Oakland Museum of California. Entitled “The World of Charles and Ray Eames,” the momentous presentation will display over 380 works spanning never-before-seen prototypes, archival photography, films, personal letters, concept sketches, and multimedia installations to name a few. Collectively, the show is comprised of four sections with one detailing the legacy of the couple and another dedicated to their early experiments and innovative designs.

“The World of Charles and Ray Eames” is set to launch on October 13 up until February 2019. Stay tuned for updates and head over to OMCA’s official website to learn more. In other art news, you can now buy shares in an Andy Warhol painting that is being sold at cryptocurrency auction.
