The Marriage of Craft and Design April 17, 2011

This exhibition chronicles the journey of two immensely creative individuals, Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman, from their independent studio training through their 50-year career as highly successful production designers. These Los Angeles-based artists, now in their eighties, shared their interest in, and devotion to, the principles of modern design. Using their deep knowledge of art history, traditional craft and folk art, the Ackermans have created a body of work remarkable for its diversity of styles, techniques and materials.
