The Many Faces of John Baldessari

I finally got around to going to the LACMA (it’s only been 4 years that I’ve lived here).

John Baldessari has a multi-room exhibition in the contemporary art wing titled, “Pure Beauty.” A lot of it pokes fun at the silliness of the contemporary art world. I can’t help but point out that he sometimes falls into his own trap. Either way, as many bold artists’ works go, some of John Baldessari’s collection is really enjoyable…and some is simply not. See for yourself, at LACMA until September 12.
