This year’s Los Angeles Modernism Show & Sale will feature over forty national and international exhibitors, including Archive (Laguna Beach, CA), specialists in 20th century design; Bridges Over Time (Newburgh, NY), dealers of 19th to 21st century antiques, design, fine art, and garden items; mid century modern furniture dealer Aaron Mapp (Miami, FL); Didier Ltd (London), specialists in jewelry by postwar painters and sculptors; Loft Thirteen (Los Angeles, CA), dealers of high-end mid century modern furniture and Danish modern design; Reform Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), which focuses on California modernism; Pierre Anthony Galleries (Palm Beach, FL), dealers of period art and antiques; and Royle (Miami, FL), dealers of mid century modern furniture and design. In addition to fine and decorative arts from the 20th century, collectors, interiors designers, and other industry professionals will be able to browse a selection of contemporary design at the show.
Held at 3Labs, a contemporary event space in Culver City’s industrial Hayden Tract Arts District, the Los Angeles Modernism Show & Sale will begin with an Opening Night Party benefiting P.S. Arts -- a non-profit aimed at improving the lives of children by providing arts education to underserved public schools and communities. Hosted by a number of design luminaries, including the award-winning architect Frank Gehry and influential interior designers Jeffrey Alan Marks and Kelly Wearstler, the show’s opening event is known for attracting a mélange of high-profile tastemakers and celebrities. Members of the show’s design committee, including leading interior designers Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design, Elizabeth Dinkel of Elizabeth Dinkel Design Associates, Trip Haenisch of Trip Haenisch & Associates, Jaime Rummerfield of Woodson & Rummerfield's House of Design, Windsor Smith of Windsor Smith Home, and Nathan Turner, will also be in attendance.
