Scandinavian Design in AN

Parked at the entrance of Scandinavian Design and the United States, 1890–1980, a sand-gray model of the Amazon serves as a fitting microcosm for the principles on display throughout the exhibition. The show, with exhibition design by Bestor Architecture, is staged in one of only two galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) open to visitors during the ongoing recreation of the western half of its campus. It is co-organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum in collaboration with the Nationalmuseum Sweden and the Nasjonalmuseet in Norway, and hinges on the middle of the 20th century, an era of design that, for good reason, we remain unable to escape.
