There are tons of great events, including a talk by my buddy Darren Bradley, who is part of an event called The New Photographers of Mid-Century Modern Architecture. It takes place on February 19. Find out more, here.Photo: Edris Residence Architect: E. Stewart Williams, by Darren Bradley 

Photographer Dan Chavkin will be part of The New Photographers talk as well.  He also has new book, Unseen Midcentury Desert Modern, which includes architecture that has been largely unseen or overlooked.

Objects USA booth at the 2015 Palm Springs Modernism show.
Sol-Air canvas and iron lounge and side table by Pipsan Saarinen Swanson for Ficks Reed, 1950. Sol-Air was selected for the first “Good Design” exhibition in 1950.  The lounge was also used in Case Study House 1950 by Rafael Soriano. So was the Bill Lam lamp in the corner. I'm not sure anyone else cared, but I was excited to put that group together.  Ficks Reed promotional photo by Herbert Matter Source: Via an excellent post on Pipsan Saarinen at Cranbrook

Reform Gallery showed up with some major California work, as usual. That's a big Hassel Smith on the back wall.
