Magritte and Comtemporary Art at LACMA
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is presenting the first major exhibition to fully explore the impact of Belgian surrealist artist Rene Magritte's work on U.S. and European artists of the postwar generation. "Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images" features sixty-eight paintings and drawings by Magritte, as well as an equal number of works by thirty-one contemporary artists, including Marcel Broodthaers, Vija Celmins, Robert Gober, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, and Ed Ruscha. This exhibition has been specially designed by conceptual artist John Baldessari and will be on view only at LACMA. Larry discusses the exhibition with Baldesarri, LACMA Director Michael Govan, and the exhibit's co-curator, Stephanie Barron.
