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 …
