It Takes a Village to Raise Museum Funds
For good, normal folks who might go to a museum only once in a while, museums present themselves in a stately, unhurried, dignified manner.  But if you peer behind the curtain, 'calm' is the last word you would use to describe what's going on there......

Twitter as Big Brother?
In last week’s program I asked you for advice: ‘To Tweet or Not to Tweet...’ and respond you did – with humor, sarcasm, and good straightforward advice.  To read all the responses posted, visit theArt Talkpage of the KCRW website.  Here are some excerpts......

To Tweet or Not to Tweet, That Is the Question
Looking back at the past thirty years, I see the pattern of my initial reluctance to embrace the technology of the modern world.  First, I had to learn to drive a car, though some of my friends tell me that I still drive like a Russian peasant.  Then, there was an especially embarrassing moment when I heard for the first time the word "fax" and mistook it for, hmmm...an unprintable profanity, and that's how l learned about the existence of fax machines.  When I started to do myArt...

Oh...to Be Sixteen Again
It's unbearably hot even here, in Santa Monica, near the beach. Damn those Santa Ana winds. To survive, I need to think and talk about something cool. How about this? A stone's throw from Venice Beach sits LA Louver Gallery, one of the mainstays of the Los Angeles art scene. There, for the next few weeks, you can find a small herd of horses roaming the galleries– some standing still, others grazing or lying down, maybe even sleeping......

Moved by Art
Compared to a journalist covering the disintegration of the international financial system or reporting from the battlefield in Afghanistan, there is an obvious advantage to being an art critic. After all, where else if not in the art business can one think about Death, Debt, and Divorce as something to look forward to, a renewable source of profit for auction houses when private collectors are pressured to sell their art as a result of these three famous "D's." Even when the news from the art ...

From Russia with Art
Somehow in the last several weeks, Russian avant-garde culture of the early 20th century has been presenting itself with surprising consistency, both here in LA and during my recent trip to Holland. In Amsterdam I saw excellent early paintings by Kandinsky, and on the last day there, I was invited to seeThe Four Temperamentsby Balanchine performed by the Dutch National Ballet. The theater was packed, and the dancers were very good. All that made me think about the famous Ballets Russes and it...

'I love plastic. I want to be plastic.' - Andy Warhol
Returning to LA from a ten-day trip to Holland, I jumped head firstinto the thick of things, trying to catch up with the new exhibitionsin museums and galleries. First I drove downtown to the USC Fisher Museum, which has become the happy recipient of a generous gift from the Andy Warhol Foundation......

The Best Place to Get High without Getting Arrested
The name of the picturesque ancient city Maastricht, in the south ofHolland, might not ring a bell in American ears, but in Europe it’s definitely well known as the place where the Maastricht Treaty was signed in 1992, giving birth to the European Union. Another reason to be aware of this city is TEFAF, the celebrated annual international art fair, often referred to as the ‘Tiffany’ of all art fairs. That’s where curators and discriminating collectors from around the world go...

Is Old Master Art Still a Sure Thing?
The last couple of months, running into various art dealers, thefirst thing I ask is how they're holding up. No doubt, it's been adifficult time for the art market, where sales of contemporary art areway below what they were even a year ago. One exception was the recent sale of the Yves Saint Laurent collection, a big success, probablyattributable to the worldwide recognition of the designer's name;people are willing to pay extra for an art work belonging to a famousperson......

Beverly Hills Housewife for Sale
When you think about the most important Los Angeles cultural patrons of the last fifty years–- people who devoted their sizable fortunes and limitless passion to supporting and promoting the arts 0– three names spring immediately to mind: Dorothy Chandler, who gave us the Music Center, Marcia Weisman, the driving force behind the creation of MOCA; and, last but not least, Betty Freeman, a legendary patron of avant-garde music as well as a major collector of American post-war art......

In Good Times and Bad, We'll Always Have Art
Whatever the state of the economy right now, one thing is clear:major museums in LA are not wanting for attendance. Last Sunday, theLos Angeles County Museum of Art was pleasantly crowded; not only itstemporary exhibitions, but the galleries with permanent collectionswere full of visitors as well. A lot of young people gathered aroundfour BMW Art Cars exhibited outdoors on the museum plaza. You mightwant to check out these cars painted by Andy Warhol, Frank Stella,Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Li...

In Gold We Trust
Bad weather, with its strong winds and rain, can sure put a damperon weekend plans, unless you get a little bit creative– after all, there are always museums out there waiting for us. It was pouring when I hit the Pacific Coast Highway last Sunday, but all of a sudden, the celestial authorities had a change of heart, and the rest of the drive to Malibu was smooth sailing: few cars and plenty of sunshine......
