YoungResearch Library, UCLA.UCLA Catalog Record IDUCLA Catalog Record ID: 7128095 Provenance/Source of AcquisitionThis collection was donated by Marilyn Neuhart in two installments. The first donation with material on the Connectionsexhibition and the Eames Design and Eames House books was made in July, 2011; material on The Story of EamesFurniture and Alexander Girard were added in a second donation made in April 2012.Processing InformationProcessed by Saundarya Thapa in 2013 in the Center for Primary Research and Training (CFPRT), with assistance from JillianCuellar.The processing of this collection was generously supported by Arcadia. Biography/HistoryJohn and Marilyn Neuhart worked in the Los Angeles area for 55 years as graphic and exhibition designers and professors.They taught several courses at UCLA, including color theory, painting, graphic design, and typography; John retired fromUCLA as a Professor Emeritus in 1984. Friends and colleagues of the Eameses, John worked fulltime for the Eames Office forfour years and as a freelance designer for 27 years. The Neuharts organized, designed and installed the exhibitionConnections: The Work of Charles and Ray Eames at UCLA in 1976 and at other venues in the United States and Europe.They are the authors and designers of three books on the office: Eames Design (Abrams, 1989), Eames House (Ernst andSohn, 1994) and the two volumes comprising The Story of Eames Furniture (Gestalten Verlag, 2010).Having moved on to UCLA’s Art Department after graduating from Long Beach City College (LBCC), the Neuharts were introduced to “mid-century modern” design in their course work and through visits to galleries and local businesses that were beginning to sell products designed in the postwar years. Familiar with the work of the Eames Office, they first met Charles Eames in 1952 when Norma Matlin, one of their former LBCC instructors, invited them to an on campus lecture where Eames talked about recent works and showed a few scenes from A Communication Primer, a film that his office had made for IBM. For the Neuharts, it wasn’t just the Eameses’ design sensibilities that inspired them; it was also that Charles

worked with his wife, Ray Eames – something uncommon for couples to do at the time. In 1957, John returned from servingtwo years in the army and was hired by the Eames Office as a graphic designer. This was the same year that the Neuhartsgot married and also started their garage-based printing business, The Hand Press.As freelance designers, the Neuharts also worked with other Los Angeles based designers. Their relationship with AlexanderGirard, an important and influential designer who, together with George Nelson and Charles Eames, comprised the greatdesign triumvirate at Herman Miller Furniture in the mid-twentieth century, began in 1956 when they started doing graphicwork for his Santa Fe, New Mexico based firm. Over the years they worked on a number of exciting projects together. Oneof these was Marilyn’s small, embroidered cloth dolls inspired by Medieval and Renaissance embroidery. First created forher children and nieces, Girard commissioned a hundred of these dolls for the 1961 opening of his Textile and Objects storewhich showcased his Herman Miller textiles as well as folk art from around the world. By the time all the Girard shopsclosed down, she had made nearly 2,000 dolls.In the spring of 1976, John proposed to Charles Eames that he use his upcoming sabbatical leave from his teaching dutiesat UCLA to research and design an exhibition on the Eames Office. Charles agreed to the idea and John proposed theproject to the UCLA Art Council, which raised the funds to support the work. The council received a matching grant from theNational Endowment for the Arts and small grants from both Herman Miller, Inc. and the IBM Corporation, two importantpatrons of the Eames Office. By April, the Neuharts had already begun work researching and organizing the exhibition andscheduled the opening of the 6,500 sq. ft. show in the Wight Gallery at UCLA for December 6. Working through thesummer, they designed the exhibition and began to fabricate the exhibition panels and structures. The largest, mostcomprehensive exhibition on the work of the Eames Office to date, Connections: The Work of Charles and Ray Eames,opened on schedule to good reviews and subsequently travelled to the University of Texas, Washington University in St.Louis and a number of other venues in Britain and Europe. Co-authored with Ray Eames, the Neuharts’ 1989 book EamesDesign, catalogs chronologically all of the work produced by the office from 1941 to 1978 and can be seen as an extensionof the exhaustive research that they did for Connections. From 1980 to 1998, the Neuharts partnered with Richard Dongesin their own design firm, Neuhart Donges Neuhart, Designers, Inc. (NDN). A colleague from the Eames Office, RichardDonges began his tenure there the same year as John Neuhart (1957) and left at the end of 1979, a year after the death ofCharles Eames which also marked the effective functional end of the office. Located in El Segundo, California, the firmspecialized in exhibition and graphic design and had a clientele that included the IBM Corporation, Herman Miller, Inc., theHuntington Library and Art Gallery, the Doheny Library, the Getty Museum and many other local businesses andinstitutions. In 1984, as part of its participation in the design program for the summer Olympic Games held in Los Angelesthat year, the company managed the design and production of the Olympic torch. Amongst other projects for IBM, NDN alsocarried on the work that was formerly performed by the Eames Office. For example, in 1980 NDN assumed themanagement of the Mathematica exhibition which the Eames Office designed and produced for IBM starting in 1961. Thefirm was retained by the company to keep the show refurbished and in good order. When the Chicago version of the exhibitmoved to Boston in 1981, NDN managed the move, re-ordered the exhibition to fit in the new space, and refurbished thegraphics and the addition of new material. They continued to service the exhibition in Boston and at its original site at theScience and Industry Museum in Los Angeles until IBM transferred ownership and maintenance to the individual museumsin the mid-1980s. Both the Eames Design and Eames House books were also researched and designed as part of NDN’swork.In 2010, Gestalten Verlag published The Story of Eames Furniture (2010), Marylin Neuhart’s thoroughly researched andgorgeously designed book in two volumes which deconstructs the brand name that is “Eames.” Thirteen years of researchin the making, the book sheds light on the whole foundation of hard work behind Eames furniture by focusing on the peoplewho did the day-by-day work. It profiles a first generation of established designers like Gregory Ain, Griswold Raetze andHerbert Matter who worked together with the Charles Eames at Evans Products Company in the 1940s and a secondgeneration of talented designers such as Don Albinson, Charles Kratka, Dale Bauer and Deborah Sussman, who began theirdesign careers by joining the Eames Office in the 1950s. In telling the story of Eames furniture, the book also tells the storyof the many talented people behind the furniture and the significant contribution they made to the company’s brand.Having produced comprehensive books on Eames, in the early 1990s the Neuharts began work on a proposed volume onthe career of Alexander Girard. As trusted friends and colleagues, they received full participation and support from theGirard estate, resulting in the amassing of a large amount of material. Despite years of dedicated work however, the bookproject did not come to fruition. In September 19, 2011 John Neuhart passed away. Marilyn Neuhart continues her passionof sewing and quilting.Scope and ContentCreated between 1957 and 2011, this collection documents the design and research work of John and Marilyn Neuhart. Materials primarily relate to the Neuharts’ work on the Eames Office. The collection includes material that documents the design and organization process for the Connections exhibition. It also contains a large amount of research files,

photographs and ephemera assembled during their work on the Eames Design, Eames House and The Story of EamesFurniture books. As designers, the Neuharts’ method of research and data collection was unique and an example of this inthe collection is a handcrafted folding book which charts the work chronology of the Eames Office. Also included are itemsand ephemera relating to the work of the Eames Office which records much of its IBM-related work. Examples of the workof the Newharts' own design firm, Neuhart Donges Neuhart and their personal garage-based printing business, The HandPress can also be found in the collection. A significant portion of the collection is made up of the Neuharts’ research files onthe American designer, Alexander Girard. The work was done in preparation for a proposed volume on Girard, and like thematerial on Eames, it contains research and work-related records, photographs and original artifacts. While there is HermanMiller, Inc. related material throughout the collection, there is also a small assortment of the company’s catalogs andspecification brochures and a sampling of its in-house publications from the 1960s-1980s.Organization and ArrangementThe collection is arranged in eight series, four of which have been further arranged in subseries.
