Brett Littman & Evan Snyderman Gallery Talk
The Drawing Center
This event has ended.
Exhibition curator and Executive Director Brett Littman will discuss the legacy of architect and designer Greta Magnusson Grossman with Evan Snyderman, Co-Principal of R 20th Century Design.
Grossman (1906-1999) was the first woman in Sweden to win a prestigious government-sponsored award for design. Upon moving to the United States, she settled in Southern California where she immediately found work as a designer of furniture and lighting. Grossman's designs were featured prominently in trade periodicals and won critical recognition, including MoMA's prestigious "Good Design" award. Her studio practice thrived and, eventually, she built and developed a number of houses which she outfitted with her own furnishings, textiles, and ceramics. Today, only seven of these historic houses remain.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about this remarkable and pioneering architect and industrial designer!
