Joseph Beuys: The Multiples

September 19, 2009–July 6, 2010
Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) is perhaps the most influential postwar European artist; his sensibility challenged American domination of the art world in the 1950s and 60s with art that confronted recent German history.This exhibition features 572 of the artist's works from the collection of The Broad Art Foundation. At the heart of Beuys's practice was a particularly European form of multiples in which two and three-dimensional objects are issued in editions. In myriad formats, Beuys’s multiples were intended to be widely circulated and cheap to acquire. Ranging from small-editioned objects to mass-produced political flyers and postcards,in materials as different as felt, wood, found objects like water bottles and tin cans, instruments, records, film, video, and audio tapes related to performances, these works, rich with allusions to his biography and personal iconography, provide a complete picture of his diverse oeuvre.
Lecture: The Museum of Multiples
Sunday, May 16| 1:00 pmRichard Meyer, University of Southern California associate professor of art history and director of USC's The Contemporary Project, considers the work of German artist Joseph Beuys and others, such as Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp, who produced artworks that include copies, facsimiles and multiples. This lecture complements the exhibition Joseph Beuys: The Multiples, currently on display.

Special Reception for Artist, Orit Hofshi

Come join us for a special LAPS reception for Israeli artist, Orit Hofshi.

George Billis Gallery
2716 South La Cienega Avenue
Culver City, CA 90034 310-838-3685
March 23 - April 10, 2010

Los Angeles Printmaking Society sponsored reception:
Friday, April 2, 2010, 5:00 - 6:30pm

Israeli Orit Hofshi is a participating artist in Philagrafika
2010: The Graphic Unconscious in Philadelphia, where she studied in the late 80's at
the Pennsylvania Academy of Art. Hofshi works by hand on very large scale images yet achieves monumentality while retaining an intimate quality in her
prints. She creates varied horizontal and vertical matrices with the panels,
adding to or subtracting from the grid as she works on the image.
Sometimes she integrates the yet-to-be-printed matrix as part of the
work, displaying the wooden boards adjacent to the prints. Read more in this article from Art on Paper in 2008.

This is an opportunity to see Orit's prints and her talk about this work and her life in Israel. Please join LAPS in welcoming this unique artist to Los Angeles.

Free parking on Washington Boulevard during reception.
Gallery is located between Venice and Washington Boulevards. A special flyer is here

Evolution & Change

OT Gallery of Tustin, CA. announces a special juried exhibition with curator Pat Merrill and juror Mike McGee:
"One hundred and fifty years ago in November 1859, Charles Darwin published Origin of Species. The ideas expressed in that volume continue to reverberate today. Although Darwin’s major contribution to evolution theory was the idea of natural selection, the whole notion of change, man’s place in the natural world, the identity of a change agent, the future of the world, and many other momentous ideas were called into question.
It is no wonder that many consider his book to be one of the most important works ever written.
How do we, as artists, deal with the whole idea of evolution and change? Is it something of importance to us? Do we have control over it? Is it positive or negative? Do we even accept the idea? These are just some of the themes we wish to examine in this show."
