Palm Springs Modernists: Insider Stories
February 26, 1:00 PM–2:30 PM
Michael H. Lord Gallery, 1090 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, California 92262
To celebrate the conclusion of Palm Springs Modernism Week, the good folks at de Lab are hosting "PS Modernists: Insider Stories." Ever imagine what it was like to hang out with Albert Frey or sip martinis with John Lautner and Julius Shulman? Moderated by Sam Heaton, "Insider Stories" is a rare opportunity to meet the original modernists—long-time residents who lived and worked with key figures during the birth of modernism in Palm Springs. Speakers include Jean Farrar, Albert Frey's long-time companion, Leland Lee, an 8-year colleague of Julius Shulman, and Mathew Sumich, an artist and landscape designer who frequently collaborated with John Lautner, Donald Wexler, William Cody, and Albert Frey, among others. A reception at the Ace Hotel follows the panel discussion.
