Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Morgan McGivern East Hampton, NY 11937 Klaus Kertess at home in East Hampton Mr. Kertess lives in East Hampton with his partner, the artist Billy Sullivan. As a writer and curator he has worked for any number of highly respected museums, but his success seems to have as much to do with his departure from such positions as with the prestige they have brought him. In 1966 Mr. Kertess founded, with John Byers, the influential Bykert Gallery in New York, where he acted as director for almost 10 years, exhibiting burgeoning artists such as Brice Marden, Chuck Close, Agnes Martin, and Joe Zucker, who is represented in the Fireplace Project exhibit.
