Lenore Tawney
in ‘Scandinavian Design and the United States, 1890–1980’, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles
9 October 2022 – 5 February 2023
Alison Jacques is pleased to announce Lenore Tawney’s inclusion in ‘Scandinavian Design and the United States, 1890–1980’, the first exhibition to examine the extensive design exchanges between the United States and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) during the 20th century.
The exhibition will present a new international story, featuring accounts of Scandinavian designers who immigrated to the United States; Americans who studied or worked in Nordic countries; the ambitious campaigns to market and export Scandinavian design to American consumers; and the American and Nordic figures who championed sustainable and accessible design practice.
