Southern California Art of the 1960s and 70s

December 11th 2007 16:00

This special exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art looks at both the utopian and dystopian art of southern California in the 1960s and 70s, with echoes into the 1980s and 1990s.

With sleek, elegant works of light and space and "finish fetish" artists on one hand, and gritty, tawdry images of California pop on the other hand, LACMA will take a look at both of these regional strands of art.

When?

Now until March 30, 2008.

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
5905 Wilshire Blvd.,
