GARY DRUCKER (1946 - 2023) was 

an exceptionally gifted designer and merchant who made major contributions to the elevation of American department stores in the late 20th Century.

​

His primary focus was home-furnishings in Macys and Bloomingdales. He used his positions to expand the public perception 

of how a home might look. He introduced a wide range of accessories from British

Portraits to beaded African ancestor figures and fetishes. 

​

Other popular exhibits staged on the furniture floors included:

• Amazon River Tribal Art

• From Bali to Bangkok

• Morocco Market Place

• Sepik River Artifacts

• The Textures of the Southwest.

​

Gary also highlighted Mid-Century Modern designers from both Europe 

and the US.                Continued . . .
