Los Angeles-based Evelyn Ackerman and her husband, Jerome, founded ERA Industries in 1956 and played a central role in shaping the California midcentury modern movement. In 1957, Evelyn began designing handwoven tapestries that could translate into ceramics. Presented in collaboration with Ackerman Modern, the pieces in this collection recreate the couple's iconic midcentury designs using original drawings and archival photographs.
