Tony McCormack, collector and purveyor of American Art Pottery and Mid-Century arts has opened an emporium on Pineapple Ave., in the Historic Burns Court Shopping District. It is showcasing mid 20th century’s decorative arts and collectibles. The focus is on Mid-Century furniture and accessories and artwork that reflect the specific design sensibilities of the 1950’s along with a collection of American Art Pottery ranging in price from $10 to $10,000.
Arising after WWII, the traditional was replaced by the new, a distinct design concept of clean lines, light and bright colors and new materials, which has now become the most sought after home decor trend. Under the direct Scandinavian influence, Mid-Century challenged worldwide creativity, which seized upon its freshness.
“Mid-Century is the hottest trend,” says McCormack, “Not just in the United States but across the globe. It’s a reinvigorated style direction that is universal in its appeal. As a past president of The American Art Pottery Association, I always have loved the distinct modern edge of American ceramics. I started collecting brightly colored Fiesta Ware and now have moved on to more distinctive collections, such as Newcomb College, Shearwater, and Teco.”
“As Sarasota explodes with new growth, we need to touch our local major design influence, The Sarasota School of Architecture,” says Tony. “It was and is world-class Mid-Century. We are on the creative map, and we want our shop to reinforce that with furniture collections, such as Vintage Knoll, Herman Miller, and Heywood Wakefield.”
Mid-Century has come full circle. Sarasota now has a brand new cheering squad. Whether we lived with it in the 1950’s or just discovering it today, it’s an approach to life that is well designed.
