by Jay Belloli
Category: Art

"A remarkable catalog of a remarkable exhibition in 1999, recreating a fertile and exciting period in the artistic past of Southern California. During the '60s and early '70s, the old Pasadena Art Museum - now the Norton Simon Museum - aggressively collected the finest art of the moment, and brought together cutting edge Los Angeles artists like Llyn Foulkes and Ed Kienholz, along with world renowned artists like Marcel Duchamp, John Cage and Frank Stella. This exhibition brought the collection to light once again, combining it with works from music and film, reviving the spirit of a magic moment."
