Pattern and Decoration

Pattern and Decoration was a United States art movement from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The movement has sometimes been referred to as "P&D"[1][2] or as The New Decorativeness.[3] The movement was championed by the gallery owner Holly Solomon.[4] The movement was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Hudson River Museum in 2008.[1][5]
