Michael Murphy

Michael Murphy is a agency creative and entrepreneur. He has had the privilege to design a traveling exhibition called Vedem Underground that deconstructs and reinterprets the literary work of the teenage Jewish creators of the longest-running underground magazine in a Nazi camp, which Smithsonian hailed as one of the 10 “Don’t Miss…” new exhibits in 2017/2018.

Mostly recently in "Googie Modern: Architectural Drawings of Armet Davis Newlove", Michael Murphy takes readers inside the private archives of the forward-thinking trio dubbed the "fathers of Googie.” In the last few years with his photographic partner Jens Lucking, he has created two books and two exhibitions about Santa Monica in 1902 and 1917 respectively as well as a postcard book “Los Angeles: A Look Back To Postcards of the 1930s & 1940s from Today”.
