Cranbrook Academy of Art

Bloomfield Hills, MI

Cranbrook Academy of Art has been described as "America's Bauhaus," in recognition
of the singular impact the school – one of the nation's leading graduate schools of art,
architecture, and design – has as a place of artistic creation. Charles and Ray Eames,
Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia, Ralph Rapson, and Eero Saarinen created mid-century
modernism at Cranbrook. Michael and Katherine McCoy started Product Semantics at
the school. Daniel Libeskind, Jun Kaneko, Hani Rashid, Nick Cave, Richard De Vore,
Tony Matelli, Niels Diffrient, Ed Fella, John Glick, Duane Hanson, Jack Lenor Larsen,
and Lorraine Wild all studied or taught at Cranbrook.
