A Marriage of Craft and Design: The Work of Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman
This exhibition chronicles the journey of two immensely creative individuals 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.
