Modernism Week website

My sister has a lamp like this.

This week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs. I went to the show on Sunday at the Palm Springs Convention Center – I took some pictures and here they are for you. I don’t know much about Modernism, to be truthful, but always get this nagging feeling that if we’d just kept all the junk we had in the early 60s, we’d be rich now.

Still, the more I’m exposed to it, the more I like it. I like the scale of the furniture, which in general, seems smaller – perhaps a reflection of a world before an obesity epidemic?

Anyway, that kind of design seems to fit better in small places. I snapped the shot of this lamp here because one of my sisters has something quite similar, and she’ll be delighted to know the price of this one was $1295. (It was a pair, I believe that was the price for the pair, though I could be wrong.)

Headboard I covet.

This next photo is a queen-size (!) headboard with built-in reading lights on both sides. I think the guy at the booth said it was from 1955. As you can see, the cabinet pulls out and down, and not only is there the adjustable light inside, there are little drawers and other little cubbyholes, too.

Lies, lies, everywhere I go, it's lies...

The item I noticed first in this next picture was not the “LIES” electric sculpture (is that what you’d call it?) but the painting of the hip/butt/crotch POV below it. However, I soon tired of that and focused on the LIES. I thought, how perfect, and what room would it belong in? Would it be most effective in the living room, over the TV? Or in the bedroom, on top of the bed itself – or would that just stop any welcome guest dead in their tracks? Perhaps the kitchen would be the best, as a comment on our sad state of our industrial food production (it’s all corn and soy…. yumm).

it's always about dress-up, isn't it?

I was surprised to see vintage clothing displayed at the show, though on second thought, I don’t know why that should surprise me. When I was there, this was one of the more popular booths, as everyone seemed to want to try on something – who could resist the boas, the feathers, the faux fur?

This reminds me of The Shining. Must be all those Ghost shows I've been watching

Finally, here is the view from inside the new Palm Springs Convention Center west entrance, looking out toward Mt. Jacinto. For some reason it reminds me of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, but it was all very benign this particular day. The columns and sweep of the roof are all very Flintstonian, don’t you think? I love it.

Palm Springs Modernism Week goes on for another few days, through the rest of this coming weekend. Check out the website for their full list of faaabulous events…
