Last Weekend to Catch California Cool on the East Coast

And what better place than Andover, Massachusetts to wear those J. Crew togs modeled poolside at the Kauffman House? This is the final weekend of the “Birth of the Cool: California Art, Design, and Culture at Midcentury” exhibition at the Addison Gallery of American Art (a department at Phillips Academy, whereas our high school just had some poorly restored WPA murals with an off-putting madrigal theme) before it heads back to California for a stint at the Oakland Museum.

Organized by the Orange County Museum of Art and curated by Elizabeth Armstrong, the show features approximately 200 objects that examine the painting, architecture, furniture design, decorative and graphic arts, film, and music that flourished in midcentury California.
