Based in Potomac, Md., Lee and Mel Eagle have been collecting decorative arts since the 1960s. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston acquired this outstanding collection in 2010.

The couple's early focus was on contemporary ceramics; today the collection also encompasses fiber art, furniture, glass, jewelry and works on paper dating from the 1940s to the present. This exhibition looks at the major figures and aesthetic movements in contemporary craft and beyond, from the mid-1960s to the early 1990s.
