               Vera Neumann

The Smithsonian inducted Vera into its Resident Associate Program in October 1972 as their first artist and commissioned her to paint the Foucault Pendulum, which still hangs in their offices today. The institute launched the program “A Salute to Vera: the Renaissance Woman” at the Museum of History and Technology.  In 1975 the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Museum launched a retrospective named, “Vera: The Artist in Industry 1945–1975.” The Goldie Paley Design Center at the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science also launched a retrospective of their own in 1980 entitled “Celebrate the Seasons of the Sun With Vera.

“Vera scarves” became immediately popular and Vera herself was soon on first-name terms with well-known women around the country. Marilyn Monroe was a fan as were Grace Kelly  and First Lady Bess Truman, who selected Vera fabric from Schumacher, Inc. to decorate the third-floor solarium windows and upholstery of the White House.

Women from around the country also chose Vera products for their color and cheerful prints.

Last week at the Gift Show at Americasmart in downtown Atlanta, The Vera Company’s new line of licensed product–wall art with Propac Images–made it’s debut. Wall art is such an amazing product to display Vera’s work since all of it began as original pieces of art.

Propac’s new  collection of Vera’s art is uplifting, happy, and inspirational–full of pieces to brighten up any room. Samantha Floyd, Vice President of Sales for Propac, had this to say about the new partnership, “Propac is thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with the Vera Company to design and produce wall décor that originated from a true artist and American legend, Vera Neumann. Her work is timeless and classic and brings a unique depth of design and inspiration to our assortment.”

Propac’s line of Vera wall art will be available at specialty and furniture stores soon–check back here for details of where you can purchase Vera wall art near you!

Crate and Barrel has recently teamed up with The Vera Company to create a fun and colorful new line of kitchen linens and accessories for Spring 2012. Slices of carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and other garden favorites align in whimsical and vibrantly colored patterns by renowned designer Vera Neumann. Insalata (pictured above) is one in a series of archival Vera prints released exclusively to Crate and Barrel. Vera’s brilliant and graphic artwork patterned housewares and fashion textiles for nearly four decades—always finished with her signature ladybug. Believing that good design should be accessible to all and incorporated into daily life, Vera designs were welcomed into homes across the country—including the White House—and worn by everyone from the fashion-savvy masses to Hollywood royalty. Keep a lookout for more patterns available for Fall and Holiday 2012, as well as a set of prep bowls rimmed in colorful slices of carrots, tomatoes, and celery, available now!
