New Eames Documentary Premieres Tonight on PBS

Deck the halls with LCWs (a rare rosewood version of the iconic chair sold for $7,500, not including commissions, last week at Sotheby’s), because ’tis the season for the television debut of Eames: The Architect and the Painter. Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey’s new documentary about the husband-wife design powerhouse of Charles and Ray Eames airs tonight at 10 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) as the 25th anniversary season finale of American Masters.

“Modern design was born from the marriage of art and industry,” notes narrator James Franco at the beginning of the feature (and in the trailer, below).
