'The Avant-Garde Collection' Opening Day

OCMA’s new exhibition chronicles nearly a century of art on the edge of art, beginning with Los Angeles painter Stanton MacDonald-Wright’s frankly psychedelic Untitled (Vase of Flowers) from 1924 and zig-zagging toward the 21st century. Of particular note is Chris Burden’s legendary (and gigantic) A Tale of Two Cities, a toy-soldier battlescape that’s somehow sinister and innocent at once, but there’s plenty more in the OCMA vaults, including work by avant heroes like video experimentalist Nam June Paik, California favorite son Ed Ruscha and John “Tips For Artists Who Want To Sell” Baldessari, whose text painting Terms Most Useful in Describing Creative Works of Art is a must…see? Or read? In some ways, it’s a history lesson all its own—a chance to explore the way the past imagined the future, and to figure out how the future(s) we live in came about. Today’s opening includes a gallery talk by participating artists.
