CHICAGO – A suite of Greta Grossman furniture will highlight Hindman’s Modern Design auction on Wednesday, May 24. Comprising more than 230 lots, significant works by other trailblazing women designers such as Ruth Duckworth and Toots Zynsky will also be presented. The sale will also include pieces by celebrated names such as Dale Chihuly, Hans J. Wegner, Erik Kolling Andersen and Karl Springer. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

“Greta Grossman was a true innovator in the world of modernism,” said Hindman Director & Senior Specialist of Modern Design Hudson Berry. “We are excited to be able to bring to market this one-of-a-kind suite. It is not often that these types of Grossman designs are offered at auction.”

The furniture suite by the iconic Swedish designer and architect Greta Grossman comes from the estate of Jeannette and Harold Strohm of Lafayette, Louisiana. Grossman achieved early success in her career while working in Sweden, including becoming the first woman to receive a prize for furniture design from the Swedish Society of Industrial Design in 1933. Grossman played an integral role in the development of California modernism. While Grossman has for years been overlooked in the history of Modernism, her work has finally begun to garner the admiration it deserves. The present works are part of the ‘62 Series, designed in 1952 as a line for the future of domestic comfort and modernity. The series encapsulates Grossman’s melding of Scandinavian and American influences that appealed to her celebrity clientele.
