Feeling like a royal #twosday ? These regal King and Queen tapestries were designed in 1958 and graced midcentury interiors like Case Study House 25, the Frank House in Long Beach. The Queen peaks out from behind the stairwell in this #juliusshulman image. On July 17 @lamodernauctions is offering a royal pair. #casestudyhouse #craft #design #interiordesign #evelynackerman #evelynackermantapestry #midcentury #lamodernauctions @wrightauction #jeromeackerman #womendesigners #evelynandjeromeackerman #royal #californiadesign #jerryackerman

We’re often asked about mosaics. This Partridge design was included in the 1958 California Design 4 show. Thanks to @lamodernauctions for including this piece in its upcoming July 17 auction. #lamodernauctions @wrightauction #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #midcenturydesign @randcompanynyc #californiadesign #womendesigners #jerryackerman #design #midcentury #evelynandjeromeackerman #craft

The Wave House in Malibu, designed in 1963 by Harr

The Wave House in Malibu, designed in 1963 by Harry Gesner (1925-2022) for the Cooper family. A 1965 Life Magazine article showed one of the Cooper children at the front door with Evelyn’s Ucello and Adhara Panelcarve. Gesner’s goal was for “this house to have the look of a giant wave at the peak of its strength.” The house sold to pop star Rod Stewart in the 1970s and to record executive Mo Ostin in the 1980s and along the way the carved redwood doors were replaced by glass. Last year Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner purchased the iconic modern property. #malibu #karliekloss #joshuakushner #design #docomomo #midcenturyarchitecture #harrygesner #californiadesign #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #evelynandjeromeackerman #malibubeach #midcentury #panelcarve #jerryackerman #midcenturymodern

Thrilled that @cranbrookartmuseum added an Ackerman piece to its expansive collection and included it in the #eventuallyeverythingconnects exhibition. The whimsical Garden was hand hooked in Japan in 1962. This section of the show focuses on designer craftsmen of the time, including Heath, Higgins, and Martz. @heathceramics #detroit #heathceramics #martz #michaelhiggins #cranbrook #cranbrookartmuseum #craft #designercraftsman #design #womendesigners #evelynackerman #evelynackermantapestry #midcentury #jerryackerman #jeromeackerman #evelynandjeromeackerman #midcenturydesign #midcenturymodern
