Overview: 43 folding screens designed by European and American artists from about 1870 to the present were on view. The exhibition was organized by Michael Komanecky of Yale University and by Virginia Butera, following a theme they had pursued since serving as National Endowment interns at the Philadelphia Museum in 1978.

Organization: The exhibition was coordinated at the Gallery by Linda Ayres. Gaillard Ravenel and Mark Leithauser designed the exhibition, and Gordon Anson designed the lighting for the National Gallery.

Sponsor: The exhibition was supported by contributions from Bankers Trust Company and Goldman, Sachs and Co. The catalogue was made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
