Opening Reception: Thursday, October 16, 6-8 pm

Greta Magnusson Grossman: Furniture and Lighting is the first major U.S. exhibition to focus on the drawings of this Swedish-born, Los Angeles-based architect and industrial designer. A two-time recipient of the Museum of Modern Art’s “Good Design” award, Grossman (1906-1999) remains an under-recognized, yet highly influential figure in the Southern California design movement of the 1950s and 60s. This exhibition will present recently discovered and never-before-seen industrial design drawings executed between 1948 and 1959 as well as archival photographs of Grossman’s residential buildings, interiors, and furnishings. Curated by Brett Littman.

This exhibition is made possible by The Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, The American Scandinavian Foundation, and Nina and Frank Moore. Special thanks to Evan Snyderman and Lily Kane, R 20th Century.
