The book “A Car and Some Shorts: One Architect’s Journey from Sweden to Southern California,” about Grossman’s life work was recently awarded the “Silver Egg” in Sweden’s Golden Egg Awards, or, Guldägget. The book was written by Andrea Codrington Lippke. Henrik Nygren Design, the firm responsible for the graphics, received the Swedish advertising and graphic design award. A related exhibition was co-curated by R 20th Century’s Evan Snyderman and Karin Aberg Waern. The architect Greta Magnusson’s oevre fits in well with modernism in Scandinavia and California, a blend of the two, in the 1940’s & 1950s with her residences, furniture and light fixture design. Plans and elevations included.
