Modernism Week in Palm Springs. Hip is back in Town!

If you’re a fan of Modernism, you should be in Palm Springs this week! Or any week, for that matter –– because they wrote the book on Mid-Century Modern.

And right now, the city is buzzing, celebrating everything Modern! From tours of private homes designed by Albert Frey to an exhibit of Leland Y. Lee’s architectural photographs to Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms Estate Tour (sorry, sold out!) there is so much –– where do we start!

Well, personally, I’d start out at the Modernism Show Preview Cocktail party and move onto the Martini Party, with a stop over at the Vintage Airstream and Trailer Show at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club. And that’s just the itinerary for tonight!

And one of our friends is carousing around town for the week — we’re anxiously awaiting her daily check-ins and photographs! Since we can’t be there in person, we’ll live a little vicariously!

Viewville will be represented at the Modernism Show Silent Auction, where we’re featuring a few prints by Buck Holzemer. His Salton Sea Resort (below left) and Desert Cables (below right) are proof that he spent some time wandering through the desert in and around Palm Springs.
