I was just watching a terrific documentary on KCET about Edith Heath. She was quite a visionary and achieved amazing things with the medium of clay. I learned that the exterior of the Norton Simon museum is clad in Heath Ceramics and that she was the first non-architect an American Institute of Architects Gold Medal […]
Women Around Town, July 2019
I recently returned from nearly a week in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I visited many galleries, several museums, the art installation MeowWolf and Georgia O’Keefe’s home in Abiquiú. One particular exhibition stood out was at the expansive Peter’s Projects Gallery, Karen LaMonte: Embodied Beauty. The breathtaking show brings together LaMonte’s most recent series of works—Floating World […]

I had mixed feelings when I read that SFMOMA was planning to sell a Mark Rothko painting valued between 35 and 50 million. I have sat in front of this work many times getting lost in his floating rectangles of pigment, and I will miss it. Then again, would it not be more satisfying to […]

We join the art world in mourning the loss of Lyn Keinholz, an arts advocate known for a fierce devotion to raising the profile of California artists. See the L.A. Times article.

The New Year is off to a great start with many appealing gallery exhibitions opening this month. I was so delighted with Christopher Knight’s Los Angeles Times article stating that “female artists finally outnumbered men in L.A.
