<\/a><\/a>WE’RE getting close to the launch of a gargantuan art blowout — much bigger than an exhibit, not as cheesy as a “celebration” — called Pacific Standard Time: Art in Los Angeles 1945 to 1980<\/a>. This will be a six month initiative involving museums and galleries from Santa Barbara to San Diego, Santa Monica to Palm Springs.<\/p>\n

For Sunday’s LA Times I put together a timeline intended to be helpful in orienting interested parties. I hope it’s a good read too and tells part of the story of this remarkable state.

I’ll be writing more about Pacific Standard Time<\/a>: Please stay tuned.<\/p>\n
