LA was as beautiful as ever – one lovely day
after another.
The LA Art Show that ended Sunday was well
attended with as lively and interesting visitors as ever. Fred Shane’s Nether
World, 1968-69, joined Hugh Mesibov’s Mechanical Dancers, 1944, and William
Baziotes’ Young Clown, 1943, as the major crowd pleasers.

At LACMA the Calder and Abstraction: From
Avant-Garde to Iconic show was a knockout. We could still see the Hollywood
sign from our window at the Hotel Figueroa, and Musso and Franks was
wonderfully unchanged.
