Cold War-Era Nostalgia: Contemporary Takes on Modernism

Everything old is new again, as this selection of contemporary artists taps into our collective nostalgia for everything 1950s, '60s, and '70s. From Mad Men-style cocktails, Slim Aarons-esque Palm Springs retreats, Mid-Century Modern geometric works, and Jazz-inspired gestural paintings, to the colors and patterns popularized by Post-War heroes Lilly Pulitzer, Avon, and Tupperware (including Harvest Gold and Avocado Green)—some things are better the second time around. This time, we're living in the Future. All featured artists have been selected to exhibit in The Other Art Fair Online Studios—Los Angeles.
