In Quest of Comfort: The Easy Chair in America (opening November 24, 1971) is the first in a series of small, didactic exhibitions prepared by The American Wing. Such small-scale exhibitions focusing on specific topics will be held from time to time by this and other departments throughout the Museum. To best illustrate the themes, objects are selected not only from the department's permanent collections, but from other departments of the Museum, and from other local institutions, collectors, and dealers. This catalogue consists of two parts: first, five brief essays, each tracing a different theme illustrated by the exhibition; second, a checklist of all the objects exhibited. Two aspects of this exhibition—the evolution of the easy chair form and an analysis of framing methods— among many others, are discussed here. The chairs in this exhibition were, with only two exceptions, made in America during the eighteenth or very early nineteenth century—that is when the easy chair, or full upholstered chair with "wings" attached to the back, was fashionable.
