More Information
Lawndale Art Center will host its twelfth annual 20th Century Modern Market on April 27-29, 2007.
Lawndale's Modern Market is the original show of its kind held in the Southwest, exclusively presenting
wares of 20th century design. This year's Market will feature more than a dozen specialist dealers from
around the country, offering a variety of media including furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork, textiles,
objects d'art and fashion.
The period represented at the Modern Market is an important focal point for the 20th century, as these
years witnessed the greatest changes in design. In pre-war years, the beginnings of a shift from the
traditions of the arts and crafts movement to mass-production were apparent as the use of industrial
materials and new technology resulted in the restyling of traditional objects for the home. Chrome-plated metals and streamlined and biomorphic shapes dominated this period. By the post-war era,
mass-production was standard and designers worked closely with manufacturers to develop forms that
reflected further strides in technology. The over-riding goal was to provide good design that was both
affordable and stylish, resulting in a clean, ornamented look of designs such as those produce by Knoll
and Herman Miller.
