i saw this exhibit at LACMA a couple of years ago and have been waiting for the catalogue to make its way to our library. The exhibit was comprehensive and so is the catalogue. It details the history of Scandinavian and American design interactions beginning in the 19th century into the late 20th century.  The catalogue contains essays by art and cultural historians focusing on paintings, textiles, architecture, decorative r arts, furniture, silverware-  the book is comprehensive and the discussion detailed and punctuated by excellent and representative photos
