Pritam & Eames

Pritam & Eames is an art gallery associated with the American Studio Furniture movement[1] which was established by Bebe Pritam Johnson and Warren Eames Johnson in East Hampton, NY in 1981.[2][3]

In 1990-91, the partners interviewed 14 of the artists who were early and continuing contributors to the gallery:

James Krenov, Wendell Castle, Jere Osgood, Judy Kensley McKie, David Ebner, Richard Scott Newman, Hank Gilpin, Alphonse Mattia, John Dunnigan, Wendy Maruyama, James Schriber, Timothy S. Philbrick, Michael Hurwitz, and Thomas Hucker.

These conversations were turned into a book, Speaking of Furniture: Conversations with 14 American Masters.[4] In 2014, Bebe and Warren Johnson received the Award of Distinction from The Furniture Society.[5] In the spring of 2015, Pritam & Eames re-located its exhibition space to The Gallery at Somes Sound on Mount Desert Island, ME.[6]
