'Ordinary People: Photorealism and the Work of Art since 1968'

First off, general admission to MOCA is now free, so there’s no better opportunity to see one of L.A.’s premiere museums. Combine that with a free, timed ticket to The Broad across the street, and that’s a lot of art in a day for very little money — especially if you take the Metro there. Newly opened at MOCA is a show that puts the focus on real people, featuring more than 40 artists whose work across different media uses photorealism to tell a story about the social history of art. Ordinary People includes work by Chuck Close, Amy Sherald (who, if you get up to the Bay Area this holiday season, has a big solo show at SFMOMA), and next gen artists like Vincent Valdez and Christine Tien Wang.
