On View
Beatrice Wood: Career Woman–Drawings, Paintings, Vessels, and Objects
Discover Beatrice Wood’s indomitable spirit and dynamic artistic force in this exhibition that features more than 100 drawings, paintings, and clay objects produced during Wood’s prolific 75-plus-years of art making. An artist who worked on both the East and West coasts and bridged gaps between areas as disparate as New York Dada and Southern California ceramics, Wood (1893-1998) was a vital contributor to the birth of the Los Angeles art scene and is thus a key player in the Pacific Standard Time project.
