Culture Monster enthuses about 'Gouge: The Modern Woodcut 1870 to Now' at The Hammer Museum at UCLA. Billed by as a 'thematic survey' the exhibition juxtaposes the work of recognized masterst (Gaugin) with more contemporary artists (among them a beautiful piece by Anselm Kiefer). Baselitz's 1981 piece The Eagle is above.
- On Beverly Boulevard, Michael Kohn Gallery just took down an exhibition by the ever-intriguing Darren Waterston, and the Prince - Berman show I noted recently won't open until January 15th. A pity...
- Forget the turmoil of the recent tabloids - go to LA MoCA and enjoy the art. Louise Bourgeois at the Grand Avenue location and an exhibition of 'sequence' in artists books at the Pacific Design Center. Check out the commendable online catalog.
- Looks like LACMA has been a mixed bag all year and right now is no exception. Alongside their widely chastised exhibition of Vanity Fair portraits, Francis Alys' 'Fabiola' is a thought-provoking must-see for the conceptual crowd and earned an honorable mention on Tyler Green's top shows of 08. Both 'Shell-Shocked: Expressionism after the Great War' and 'The Age of Imagination: Japanese Art, 1615–1868' promise to be interesting historical surveys.
- Another MAN favorite: 'Dialogue Among the Giants' at the Getty. Carleton Watkins is no stranger to the Pacific Northwest, thanks to the two shows at PAM and the Oregon Historical Society that showcased his work.
