About the Item

These 3 items (Headboard, Bedspread Canopy) arrive from the personal collection of designer Gere Kavanaugh, known as "California Design Queen" who included it among the vibrant objects and artworks adorning her home in Los Angeles's historic Angelino Heights neighborhood. Kavanaugh moved from Los Angeles's Westside to Angelino Heights around 1980, when she was already well-established as a textile, industrial, and interior designer known for her embrace of color and larger-than-life spirit. As Louise Sandhaus and Kat Catmur write in A Colorful Life: Gere Kavanaugh, Designer, "To describe Kavanaugh is to evoke all that 'colorful' can: vivid, lively, animated, dramatic, fascinating, interesting, stimulating, scintillating. Somewhere between a home and a museum, Kavanaugh's residence in Angelino Heights embodies the spirit of her life. From knocking down walls to designing her own furniture and crafting much of the decor, she has made it an evolving project for the past three decades (and she isn't finished with it yet)." Materials: Upholstery, patinated steel, textile with appliquéd felt and metal buttons Headboard: 39½ h × 68½ w × 2 d in (100 × 174 × 5 cm) Bedspread: 98 h × 94 w in (249 × 239 cm) Canopy: 180 h × 60 w in (457 × 152 cm) This is a very heavy bed, the headboard with all bed components (3 side rails which when added to the headboard complete the base of the frame) weights almost 200 pounds. provenance: Collection of Gere Kavanaugh, Los Angeles literature: A Colorful Life: Gere Kavanaugh, Designer, Catmur and Sandhaus, pg. 197
