2010 | Best Art Museum

What OCMA is featured as Best Art Museum two out of the past three years Now three out of the past four years Well, guess what, haters They freakin' deserve it. Every time we stepped foot in there over the past year, they surprised, enthralled and thrilled us. From Karen Moss' (deputy director for exhibitions and programs) "15 Minutes of Fame: Portraits From Ansel Adams to Andy Warhol," exploding with photogs as varied in style and substance as Larry Clark, Warhol and...

State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970

By CHRIS ZIEGLER | Thu, October 06, 2011

L.A.’s Pacific Standard Time is less an exhibition—or a series of exhibitions—than an event, or even an explosion. Right now, almost twenty varied cultural institutions are presenting all sorts of powerful showcases for art of all kinds made in L.... More »
