11 Los Angeles artists

Description

Tent. Londen, Hayward Gallery, 30-09-1971, 14-11-1971. - 11 Los Angeles Artists featured painting, drawing and photography, as well as what the Arts Council’s Norbert Lynton referred to as ‘less easily described sculptures and constructions.’ It presented a cross-section of activities that were taking place in what Lynton referred to as a ‘very lively art centre which many Americans have come to see as a salutary answer to New York’s increasingly pompous and tycoon-ridden art scene’. Curators Tuchman and Livingston hoped that their selection would act as ‘a disclaimer to narrow stereotypes’ about LA and its artists.
