Ken Price Sculpture: A Retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Resnick Pavilion

September 16, 2012 - January 6, 2013

LACMA is preparing to open a retrospective this fall on Ken Price (1935-2012), one of the most important sculptors to have emerged in Los Angeles in the last 50 years. Over his long career, Price became known for his meticulous and innovative works that helped redefine what it means to be a ceramic artist. The exhibition is designed by Frank Gehry, a friend of Price, and will “chart the lyrical progression of the artist’s work and illuminate the work of other artists who have been influenced by his ground-breaking and influential oeuvre.” A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, and includes essays by Stephanie Barron, Phyllis Tuchman and Dave Hickey, as well as an interview with the artist by MaLin Wilson Powell.

Announcement

Sensual Mechanical: The Art of Craig Kauffman
Book signing with author Hunter Drohojowska-Philp

October 27, 2012

Please join us at the gallery on October 27th from 3 - 5 pm for a signing of Sensual Mechanical: The Art of Craig Kauffman by its author, Hunter Drohojowska-Philp. Hunter Drohojowska-Philp is a journalist and art critic specializing in the topics of art, design and architecture who has recently published Rebels in Paradise: The Los Angeles Art Scene and the 1960s as well earlier work including Full Bloom: The Art and Life of Georgia O'Keefe.

In this monograph, published by the Estate of Craig Kauffman and Frank Lloyd Gallery, Drohojowska-Philp traces the development of Craig Kauffman's luminous paintings by juxtaposing the artist's architectural rigor with his unabashed sensuality. As one of the most significant figures to emerge from the lively art scene that arose in the 1960s in Los Angeles, Kauffman harnessed his disparate impulses to achieve an unparalleled body of work. While challenging accepted norms of art made after the Second World War, Kauffman retained an allegiance to the traditions of Modernism.

In addition to signed copies of Sensual Mechanical: The Art of Craig Kauffman, we will also have a series of smaller, archival Frank Lloyd Gallery publications available to purchase.


We are pleased to report that an interview with John Mason was conducted by Paul Smith for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This interview is part of the Nanette L. Laitman Documentation Project. A transcript can be viewed on the Archives of American Art website.

John Mason has also been interviewed by Hunter Drohowjowska-Philp for Artscene Visual Radio, and the recording will be available soon for download or podcast at the Artscene Visual Radio website.
