Description |
La Artland is a survey of one of the most vibrant and influential art scenes of recent decades. Having produced word renowned artists such as Mike Kelly, Paul McCarthy, Chris Burden, Catherine Opie and Jim Shaw, Los Angeles since the 90s has rivaled New York as the US contemporary art capital. With the continuing success of LA-based programs at CalArts, Art Centre and UCLA, as well as a growing gallery scene stretching from blue chip to artist-run spaces, Los Angeles as an art centre continues to thrive, producing increasingly successful generations of artists. the focus of this publication is on extensive visual documentation of contemporary artists working in Los Angeles now, ranging from well established international names to emerging talent. |
