ALEX SHEAR'S OBJECT LESSON #5
(Removable Insert)


Regular contributor Alex Shear approaches the "process" theme from an oblique angle, offering readers yet another memorable keepsake from his unparalleled collection of Americana.

Over the past 30 years, New Yorker Alex Shear has amassed an extensive, highly regarded collection of 20th-century pop-culture artifacts. In the ’70s, Shear was a highly successful designer of housewares and clothing; since 1990, he has focused exclusively on acquisition, and objects from his collection have been included in exhibitions at Manhattan’s Children’s Museum and the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, among a number of other venues.
