Come and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking book, Palm Springs Modern, at an exclusive reception and book signing hosted by Modernism Week. Originally published in 1999, this remarkable photography book by Adele Cygelman and David Glomb captures the essence of Palm Springs’ iconic modernist residential architecture. The event will take place at the Max Palevsky residence, where the book was first introduced a quarter of a century ago at a gathering featuring a stellar guest list of architects, designers, artists, and the homeowners whose residences were showcased in the book.

Situated in the exclusive Little Tuscany area of Palm Springs, this meticulously maintained estate, designed by Craig Ellwood in 1968, offers breathtaking valley views and an impressive collection of 20th-century art and furnishings.  A unique opportunity to explore an architectural masterpiece that is typically not open to the public. Join author Adele Cygelman and photographer David Glomb at this momentous anniversary celebration. Enjoy the music of the Lance Conrad Jazz Quartet, catering from On The Mark, and raise a glass of champagne to the continued success of Palm Springs Modern, an essential book for enthusiasts of modernist architecture worldwide.
