The Wall Street Journal features Jenev bird candle holders cast by Jerry Ackerman at age 97 in “The Off Duty Holiday Gift Guide: 50 Rare Finds.”
Design Within Reach collaborates with Ackerman Modern on an exclusive Jenev Ceramics collection reissue. The pieces, designed by Jerry in 1953, were selected from the originals and made with molds precisely copied from the masters.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art publishes a “Launch Pad” tapestry journal in conjunction with it’s “Found in Translation” exhibition.
Hand-In-Hand: Ceramics, Mosaics, Tapestries, and Woodcarvings by the California Mid-Century Designers Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman is the first book on the Ackermans’ contribution to California mid-century modernism. With a preface by Jonathan Adler, the book tells the story of a successful collaboration and celebrated partnership, not only in design, but in life.
The Ackermans appear in A Handbook of California Design 1930-1965, biographies of significant mid-twentieth-century figures in California design.
The American Museum of Ceramic Arts inaugural show, Common Ground: Ceramics in Southern California 1945-1975 represents a who’s who of postwar ceramics including the Ackermans.
The Ackermans’ work is included in three exhibitions for Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A., 1945-1980 sponsored by the Getty Foundation.
California Design, 1930-1965: Living in a Modern Way includes the Elipses mosaic now in the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Art Museum. The exhibition travels to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Massachusetts.
Women who made California a preeminent center of American design and craft are featured in California’s Designing Women, 1896-1986 from the Museum of California Design at the Autry National Center, Griffith Park.
