Greta Magnusson Grossman: Furniture and Lighting is the first major US 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 presents 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.
