TIME & PLACE: LOS ANGELES 1957-1968
4 October 2008 - 6 January 2009
Sun, surf and smog – three words that throw an explanatory light on the explosive development of art in Los Angeles during a few intense years starting in the late 1950s. In the shadow of New York, artists such as Ed Kienholz, David Hockney, Ed Ruscha, Sam Francis, James Turrell and John Baldessari made works that in their unique visuality inspired generation after generation of artists all over the world. In the same era, architects and designers created environments that dissolved the boundaries – between inside and outside, architecture and nature – in a radical, sun-drenched elaboration on the International Style.
The exhibition Time & Place: Los Angeles 1957–1968, which presents 25 artists and architects, is the last in the Time & Place series curated in connection with the 50th anniversary of Moderna Museet.
