Shows galore! This Saturday, a show I've been looking forward to opens at Craig Krull Gallery in Santa Monica. Part of the Pacific Standard Time events, Don Bachardy's "Portrait of L.A. Artists" includes portraits of Mary Corse, Robert Graham, Ed Ruscha, Chuck Arnoldi, Billy Al Bengston, Vija Clemins, Craig Kauffman, Joe Goode, Tony Berlant, Larry Bell, Guy Dill, and many of Don himself.
Also, Santa Monica Museum is opening a new exhibition of California artist, Beatrice Wood: Career Woman—Drawings, Paintings, Vessels, and Objects. It will offer a comprehensive survey and a new assessment of this emblematic California artist—a scholarly, commemorative evaluation of Wood, whose extraordinary life and career traversed and contributed to the cultural and artistic highlights of the entire 20th century. (Adam Silverman did the design installation for the show!)
