June 2013 Arts in Los Angeles

June 2013 Blog

I have been asked many times to post a blog about arts and things to do in Los Angeles. I have decided to briefly post monthly current recommendations and comments about happenings in Los Angeles.
At this time I recommend:
A.  James Turrell : A Retrospectiveat LACMA…Turrell advances the study of light seen in work by Dan Flavin and Robert Irwin. Turrell is philosophic in the spirit of Mark Rothko.  Do not miss the section entitled ”ganzfeld”.  It is worth the wait and the highlight of the show.  Turrell concurrently is being exhibited  at the Museum of Fine Arts , Houston and will be at the Guggenheim in New York starting June 21..

B. Quincy Jones at the Hammer Museum…Excellent exhibition of his work.  It is amazing how forward-thinking Jones was.  His work and ideas are totally contemporaneous with our mixed-use developments today and our “green” programs.  You can visit the Hammer after 6 PM on Thursdays and entrance is free and parking is $3.  At 7 PM there are 45 minute docent tours of this exhibition and I thought the tour was very worthwhile.

C. Getty Museum- Brentwood…has an architectural exhibit on the development of Los Angeles which ties in with the A. Quincy Jones exhibition.  It is a continuation of Pacific Standard.

Have fun in Los Angeles …mmerHHHHA
