Los Angeles Modernism 2015

Los Angeles Modernism Show 2015
Los Angeles Modernism Show 2015

     From April 24 through 26, Los Angeles’s Culver City plays host to a vast collection of iconic 20th-century furniture, art, jewelry and decorative objects offered at yet another edition of the Los Angeles Modernism Show. With dozens of dealers exhibiting at the much-anticipated annual event — attended in past years by such celebrities as Courtney Cox, Julie Bowen and Ted Danson and design aficionados like Kelly Wearstler and Cliff Fong — this year’s iteration presents no shortage of chic vintage finds.

     Missing the fair? Not to worry: Our editors’ selection from exhibiting 1stdibs galleries serves as both inspiration for the home and a visual encyclopedia of Modernism’s international mark. Included below: Early modern classics from the Art Deco period as well as selections from Georg Jensen’s prolific career in silverwork; Mid-century American and Scandinavian staples by the likes of McCobb, Henningsen, Parzinger, Platner, Noguchi and Baughman; and Brutalist signatures in brass and welded metal; plus outdoor decor, decorative glass and fine jewelry. Should you find the perfect piece, make sure to act fast.

Van Cleef & Arpels Sapphire and Diamond "Camellia" Earrings
By Van Cleef & Arpels
Located in New York, NY
These Van Cleef & Arpels "Camellia" earrings, in blue sapphires and diamonds, evoke the spectacular blossom from Asia that possessed the European imagination from the late 18th century onward. Like their camellia-loving contemporary, Coco Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels designers were inspired by the luxurious flower, designing this classic line of stylized jewels that has been beloved since the 1950s. Beautifully modeled to hug the ear, these sparkling flowers-to-wear enhance the eyes and face. Artist: Van Cleef & Arpels, New York Country: United States Circa: 1960s Size: 1.125” diameter Materials: 150 Round-cut diamonds (approximate total weight 6.00 carats); 48 Round- and oval-cut sapphires (approximate total weight 7.70 carats); Platinum Signed: “Van Cleef NY...
