Now that the new version of The Great Gatsby is out, lets enjoy Deco. The style first appeared in France in the 1920's as the name used for an Art exhibition, and was popular through the 40's. In America the best icon is the Chrysler building. It is very geometric and eclectic, which are two of the reasons I like it. A few years ago at Yves St. Laurent's estate auction, a single Art Deco chair sold for 30M.
