@beaconhillbooksandcafe the beautiful bookstore in Boston is a magical place. We’re beyond thrilled to have the Ackerman book gracing the shelves. #beaconhillbooksandcafe #beaconhill #pointedleafpress #interiordesign #style #craft #design #womendesigners #boston #bookstore #evelynackerman #artbook #evelynandjeromeackerman #jeromeackerman #midcenturydesign #jerryackerman #midcentury #décor

A tale of two tapestries. Originally designed in 1

A tale of two tapestries. Originally designed in 1958 and called Abstract, the design was handwoven in Mexico until 1963-4 (left image). In 1970, production was resumed, this time as a hand hooked wall hanging called Window Abstract made in Japan for two years (right image). A beautiful early example of the woven tapestry is coming up in @lamodernauctions American Design auction on September 23. #design #lamodernauctions @wrightauction #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #evelynandjeromeackerman #craft #womendesigners #midcenturymodern #midcentury #jerryackerman #eames #alexandergirard #californiadesign

Five years after we endowed the Jerome Ackerman Internship in honor of Jerry @alfredceramicartmuseum, it’s still going strong. It offers sophomore-senior art students a paid semester-long internship to learn about museum techniques and study the collection. #ackermanfriday #alfreduniversity #alfreduniversityceramics #craft #artanddesign #museum #design #jeromeackerman #jerryackerman #evelynackerman #internship #evelynandjeromeackerman #ceramics #californiadesign #curator #alfredceramics #alfredceramicartmuseum

The pattern in Evelyn’s original drawing of the Stallion tapestry inspired one of the plates in the Corvo dinnerware line @cb2. Featured in @dwellmagazine with other classic midcentury designs like Louis Poulsen’s pendant, the black and white motif is applied by skilled artisans in Portugal in alignment with the Ackermans’ commitment to craft. We love the salad plate (with lots of other uses) and it’s on a rare sale. #cb2 #mycb2 #dinner #evelynackerman #dwellmagazine #fiestaware #design #evelynandjeromeackerman #portugal #ceramics #jeromeackerman #californiadesign #jerryackerman #midcenturymodern #louispoulsen #womendesigners

Extended—until August 22. “Piece by Piece: The Mosaics of Evelyn Ackerman @randcompanynyc. “Whether purely abstract or richly figurative, their designs reveal a shared vision: to create enduring, artful objects that elevate everyday living. Through their work, scholarship programs, and lasting influence, Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman remain touchstones for a modernist approach rooted equally in artistry, craftsmanship, and human connection.” #randcompanynyc #randcompany #craft #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #evelynandjeromeackerman #design #californiadesign #womendesigners #midcenturymodern #midcenturydesign #mosaic #newyorkgallery @james_zemaitis #pointedleafpress

Drop. The. Mic. Beautiful exhibition of @ruthasawaofficial @sfmoma. This pioneering woman designer listed “No, housewife” in response to “Do you earn a living through your art?” on a 1957-58 artist questionnaire for the museum. Asawa’s answer underscores how women designers of the era were often perceived. Ironically, Evelyn would have been able to answer “yes,” as the Ackermans functioned simultaneously as designer-craftsmen and business owners. #ruthasawa #sfmoma #museum #museumofmodernart #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #womendesigners #evelynandjeromeackerman #design #evelynackerman #californiadesign #craft #womendesigners #eames #midcenturydesign #midcenturymodern
