Arshile Gorky. Horizon West
Until Apr 25

🇺🇸Los Angeles
9 museums · 20 exhibitions on now · 8 coming soon
Over the past three decades, Los Angeles has transformed from a city primarily associated with film and entertainment into one of the most vital art scenes in the world. It now has more working artists than anywhere else in the United States, and that density shapes a gallery and museum culture that feels distinctly Californian: sun-saturated, sprawling, and frequently surprising.
