After success in Oslo and Tokyo, the Norwegian Icons: Important Norwegian Design exhibition is ready to make its U.S. debut in New York's Openhouse Gallery starting May 23 from 6-9 p.m.

Highlighting Norway's contribution to mid-century Scandinavian design, the selling exhibition will showcase over 500 high-end designer objects created by 44 Norwegian designers between 1940-1975. The objects will be arranged with iconic Norwegian artworks, including over 5 works by artist Edvard Munch.

Keep reading for more details.

"The exhibition features over 500 works of high-end decorative arts and furniture from this significant part of Norwegian design heritage: tables and chairs by iconic Norwegian designers such as Torbjørn Afdal, Fredrik Kayser, and Sven Ivar Dysthe; glassware and ceramics from Benny Motzfeldt, Herman Bongard; and decorative arts and jewelry treasures from Grete Prytz Kittelsen, Tone Vigeland, and Arne Tjomsland are among the objects that will be featured in this selling exhibition."

"Works will be presented by a select group of artists who played various roles in developing the traditions of Norwegian design and architecture during the twentieth century. One of the featured artists, Edvard Munch, paved the way for other Post-War artists with his innovative work, marking a breakthrough in Norwegian art history. "

"The intention behind Norwegian Icons: Important Norwegian Design is to raise international awareness of Norway’s significant contribution to Scandinavian mid-century modern design, alongside those of Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Norwegian Icons tells the story of Norway’s design history through a series of exhibitions and catalogues."

"The catalogue accompanying the New York exhibition features a selection of works by important mid-century Norwegian designers and highlights their role in shaping this unique period in Norwegian design history."

Norwegian Icons will run until June 1, 2014.
