Sam Maloof + Pacific Standard Time = :)


The House that Sam Built:
Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley, 1945–1985
Sept. 24, 2011–Jan. 30, 2012, Los Angeles, @ The Huntington


I just spent a good portion of the morning looking over the upcoming exhibitions that will be part of PACIFIC STANDARD TIME..... This fall, Los Angeles will be full of some pretty exciting exhibits.... I'll be posting probably tons of info, and will be sharing some exciting news along the way. Stay tuned:) One show I am particularly excited about it the exhibition that will be happening at The Huntington in Pasadena. The show is called "Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley, 1945–1985 ", and I believe will be shown in the space that "The Artistic Furniture of Charles Rohlfs" was shown last year....

"Sam Maloof (1916–2009) was a woodworker born and raised in Southern California who became a nationally recognized leader of the American studio furniture movement—a movement that favored the aesthetics of craft and the handmade over the machine and mass-production....

The exhibition gathers together works from several private and public collections to shed new light on the rich network of influences and exchanges that developed among artists and artisans living in the Pomona Valley in this dynamic period of American art. It is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog and related programming. “The House that Sam Built” is part of Pacific Standard Time. This unprecedented collaboration, initiated by the Getty, brings together more than 60 cultural institutions from across Southern California for six months beginning October 2011 to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.
