Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles

In the early years of MOCA, only fifteen docents were invited and I was privileged to be one of them.  During my farewell visit to the museum, it seemed fitting that the exhibition was entitled "The Art of Our Time."

The works shown here are in part of those gathered loosely around the historical art movements, abstract expressionism, pop art and conceptual art.

Basquiat, UNTITLED, 1981

Omni Hotel in Los Angeles

If you want to be near (virtually over) the art in the Los Angeles, California, stay in the beautiful comfort of the Omni Hotel.  A Nancy Rubin sculpture will be in your sight as you breakfast.  Your early morning swim is in the middle of town. And, evening cocktails are a celebration to my hometown with Angel's Flight in the background.  

Takashi Murakami at The Broad

Being affected by the Tohoku earthquake and pursuant nuclear disaster, the artist's exhibited work marked a turning point.  

The resultant expansive new work held great interest to those attending the opening of The Broad, Los Angeles' newest addition to the art scene on Grand Avenue.
