Our 1999 visit to the Frederick Weisman Collection in Holmby Hills was oversubscribed and several regulars were unable to attend. Wiseman gathered works by every renowned painter and sculptor in the past century. From 1985, Weisman and his second wife, Billie Milam, created an art environment, including a new Franklin Israel-designed 1991 gallery structure, to house some of the more provocative and large pieces. Only 30 persons will be allowed to form our group, and we will walk about four blocks to enter the Carolwood estate. Short walk, slight hills, many stairs and two hours of museum standing.
Facilities are available.
Meet at northeast corner of Lexington Road and Whittier Drive in the northwest portion of Beverly Hills. Ample, unlimited-time street parking on Lexington. Jim Cavener will put it all in context before we walk up the hill to be awed. Prepare to leave handbags in your car. A perennial favorite destination for our walkers is downtown Los Angeles' Bunker Hill, arguably the most successful urban development region in any city in the country.
