A Traveler’s Guide to Mettlach: Villeroy and Boch showcases everyday life in the 1800s Mettlach, Germany. Scenes of everyday life in Mettlach have been documented and celebrated by Villeroy and Boch, a ceramic production company founded in 1836 when Jean François Boch and Nicolas Villeroy merged their ceramic businesses into what is now known as Villeroy and Boch. The workers of the Mettlach factory came from diverse backgrounds, including art studios, archives, and museums. The varied backgrounds of the factory workers contributed to the artistic achievements of the Villeroy and Boch company. The Mettlach collection reflects German cultural experiences, societal interpretations, and mythology. This exhibition shows scenes of love and relationships as well as larger themes of fantasy, offering an all-encompassing snapshot of the myriad facets of human life within Mettlach. A Traveler’s Guide to Mettlach, on view in the Robert and Colette Wilson Gallery through June 2025, presents concepts of life, laughter, relationships, and the day-to-day existence of the German people.

features Valdez’s oil painting on a 1953 Good Humor ice cream truck portraying the forced removal of a predominantly Mexican American community for the construction of Dodger Stadium in the late 1950s. In 2004, Cooder invited Valdez to collaborate and create a painting to align with his album “Chavez Ravine” (2005), a musical interpretation of the neighborhood’s history. Posing a visual contradiction between the eviction and the ice cream truck, Valdez depicts Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley, former LAPD Chief William H. Parker, J. Edgar Hoover, and displaced families. Shown alongside Valdez’s preparatory materials, draws from the style and history of Mexican and American muralism and Chicano car culture. Recently acquired by LACMA, the work is a monument to a disturbing chapter in L.A. history and symbolizes struggles across the country about affordable housing, eminent domain, gentrification, and discrimination.

Pinto Gallery is an LA-based contemporary art gallery, showcasing the most impressive and innovative Japanese artists.

This February ‘DRIVE’ will open with The Parking Space, featuring a Chevrolet Caprice and Impala, a Ferrari 328 GTS and a Ligier microcar, parked in the gallery alongside a video in which Rhoades fervidly discourses on his concept of the Car Projects. While driving around Los Angeles in 1998, Rhoades explains the relationship of cars to his art (parking is equated with sitting in a sculpture) and to daily practice (driving between the house, the studio and stores is time and space for the mind to race and wander). He expounds on cars as icons of art history (Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia speeded modern art forward with their mechanized abstractions), identifiers of class (you are what you drive) and environments of control. The radio is tuned to Power 106 FM and as the world streams by to the propulsive hip-hop beat, the romance of cars seems irresistible. In April, the installation will be reconfigured to accommodate a lounge and become The Pit. An influx of archival materials will be key to unpacking the various episodes of Rhoades’ Car Projects, starting with the Caprice and the 1996 exhibition ‘Traffic.’ Not only did the artist cut a deal with CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, France the organizers of the show, to go in on buying him the car as a transactional work of art, he later leveraged its symbolic value by trading the Caprice for a Ferrari. This summer the exhibition’s focus will swerve onto The Racetrack. A set of half-scale NASCAR-style cars, custom jackets and colorfully painted tire barriers are among what remains of ‘The Snowball.’ Staged in California as a daylong racing event at Willow Springs speedway, ‘The Snowball’ was ultimately destined for the 2000 Venice Biennale and Rhoades’ collaborative work for the Danish Pavilion. In September, The Garage will cover the final stretch of ‘DRIVE’ with a selection of framed works on paper and a major sculptural installation. Throughout the year, the line-up for ‘DRIVE’ will feature a range of public programs. A film series centered on cars and the city of Los Angeles will be curated by film historian and critic Elvis Mitchell. A theatrical staging of the playwright Charles Mee’s ‘Under Construction,’ which was inspired by Rhoades’ art in its collage depiction of America today, will be presented as part of Hauser & Wirth’s Performance Project. Organized as an investigation in real time, ‘DRIVE’ invites people to approach the exhibition like a garage of art and ideas, in which cars are coming and going and tinkering is a productive state of mind. As an artist, Rhoades was keenly attuned to sources of cultural power and weakness. When he put the internal combustion engine on art’s pedestal, was he presciently placing the car where it belongs for a greener tomorrow? The car as a subject in Rhoades’ art continues to drive and trouble the imagination today.

From 1984 to 1991, pioneering American artist Jasper Johns (b.1930) produced a significant body of work inspired by the theme of the four seasons, including a remarkable series of prints that are exhibited together in this display. The Seasons are complex and distinctive works, weaving together themes of artistic creation, the passage of time, and the artist’s own biography, with Johns’ shadow appearing prominently in each composition. Printmaking is one of Johns’ major preoccupations, and this display will reveal his application of an array of techniques to create a collaging of imagery that is both evocative and mysterious. The Courtauld was fortunate to be given the series of nine prints by Johns in 2016 by Barbara Bertozzi Castelli, the widow of John’s long-term dealer Leo Castelli, and is the only museum in the UK to have the series in its collection.

Between November 1982 and May 1984, Basquiat produced approximately a hundred paintings, numerous works on paper, and six silkscreen editions in Venice, California. For an artist closely affiliated with the New York art scene of the 1980s, Basquiat was extraordinarily prolific in Los Angeles. reflects on this pivotal era by bringing together nearly thirty works— several of which are among his most important paintings. Larry Gagosian notes, “Los Angeles has always been a great city for artists and Jean-Michel seemed to find it a refreshing change from New York. While the immensity of his talent was immediately apparent, it was nonetheless a highlight of my own career to work with him, to introduce him to Los Angeles, and to witness the amazing impact that his art and legacy have made on our culture.” After first meeting Basquiat in 1981, Gagosian invited him to Los Angeles. Basquiat’s solo exhibition with Larry Gagosian Gallery in LA—the first time his work was presented on the West Coast—opened in April 1982, immediately following his first solo show in New York at Annina Nosei’s gallery. The Los Angeles exhibition was seen as the arrival of a significant voice by the public and collectors alike. In November 1982 Basquiat returned to California, living and working at Gagosian’s residence on Market Street, a three-story structure with an interior courtyard open to the light and air from the beach nearby. That same year, Basquiat met Fred Hoffman, who was running New City Editions, and together they would produce six editioned prints, including and (both 1983), large-scale silkscreen works on canvas. Featuring white text, sketches, and directional arrows on a black ground, contrasts with Basquiat’s intensely colorful paintings of the era, its dense collection of allusive phrases ascending to the crown at its top. For Basquiat, working in Venice offered a reprieve from the distractions and pressures of the New York art scene. Many of the paintings he produced in Venice were shown at his next Los Angeles exhibition, which opened on March 8, 1983, at Larry Gagosian Gallery and presented approximately thirty paintings, including , , , , , and (all 1983). will present many of these pivotal works together again for the first time. A highlight of the exhibition is , a work that portrays Basquiat alongside fellow artists Toxic and Rammellzee as new Black celebrities in a palette that evokes the bright Southern California sun. Fusing drawing, painting, and text across three panels, pays homage to jazz greats Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Underscoring the importance of music to Basquiat, it conveys the vitality of bebop in a visual style informed by contemporary graffiti and hip-hop. The same year it was painted, Basquiat would produce the influential hip-hop track “Beat Bop” on his own Tartown Record label, featuring Rammellzee and K-Rob. In the summer of 1983, Basquiat was drawn back to Los Angeles. He returned to Market Street, this time establishing his own studio a few doors down and remaining there until late in the spring of 1984. One night, while Basquiat was working, he went outside to a fenced-in courtyard just behind the studio, where he encountered an unhoused person sleeping. After this incident the courtyard’s fence was removed, but instead of disposing of the wooden slats Basquiat integrated them as supports for some of his most iconic paintings—, , and (all 1984), all of which will be exhibited as a group in Made on Market Street for the first time since they were created. With , Basquiat expanded his portrayal of the Black male, presenting a larger-than-life figure whose elastic, expressive arm gesture combines the artist’s interests in anatomy, symbolism, and qualities he characterized as “royalty, heroism, and the streets.” is accompanied by a catalogue that reproduces the exhibited works together with archival material, including installation images from the 1982 and 1983 exhibitions at Larry Gagosian Gallery, historical ephemera, and exhibition reviews, as well as previously unpublished photographs of Basquiat in his studio. A conversation between Larry Gagosian, Fred Hoffman, filmmaker Tamra Davis, and the artist’s sisters, Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux, will be featured, along with an essay where Hoffman reflects on the works that Basquiat produced in Los Angeles, discussing the complex symbolism and restless innovation that permeated his oeuvre. Larry Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles presented three exhibitions with Basquiat during the artist’s lifetime: at 619 North Almont Drive, April 8–May 8, 1982; at 510 North Robertson Boulevard, March 8–April 2, 1983; and at 510 North Robertson Boulevard, January 7–February 8, 1986. is the seventh exhibition of Basquiat’s work that Gagosian has presented since the artist’s passing in 1988. Jean-Michel Basquiat was born in New York City in 1960, where he died in 1988. Major exhibitions include , Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh (1984; traveled to Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Netherlands, through 1985); Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover, Germany (1986–87, 1989); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1993; traveled to Menil Collection, Houston; Des Moines Art Center, Iowa; and Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Alabama, through 1994); , Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York (2005; traveled to Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, through 2006); Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, Switzerland (2010; traveled to Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, 2010–11); (2017, Barbican Art Gallery, London; traveled to Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, 2018); Albertina, Vienna (2022–23); and , Starrett-Lehigh Building, New York (2022–23, traveled to Grand LA, Los Angeles, 2023–24).

Louis Stern Fine Arts is pleased to present Richard Neutra: Travel Drawings. Richard Neutra (1892­ – 1970) is best known as an icon in the world of architecture, whose notable residential and commercial projects exemplified the functional principles and minimalist aesthetics of the mid-century modern movement. Neutra’s designs were distinguished by their thoughtful attention to the needs of his clients, with each structure carefully tailored to optimize the usability and comfort of the space. The lively drawings on display in the exhibition, executed during the architect’s numerous travels throughout the 1950s and 1960s, manifest the same empathetic and curious spirit that characterized Neutra’s approach to architectural design. Neutra traveled widely throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas in his capacity as an architect and consultant, maintaining a consistent practice of producing “graphic notes” of his journeys. An eager and lifelong learner, he utilized drawing as a means to understand the architectural styles and traditions he encountered around the world. The cloisters of the Wat Po Buddhist temple complex in Bangkok, the vaulted ceilings of the Strasbourg Cathedral in France, and the wood beams and tatami mats of a traditional Japanese house in Kyoto are deftly and economically realized in a series of energetic charcoal and pastel strokes. Neutra’s expressive lines and bird’s-eye perspectives are reminiscent of the work of fellow Austrian artist Egon Schiele, while his bold, confident hand and cinematic concern with the interiors and inhabitants of everyday locations echo those of Edward Hopper. “Perhaps the world I have seen was an unreal one,” Neutra mused in his 1962 autobiography. Indeed, these drawings are not merely faithful recordings of the natural world or the built environment, but rather vivacious, colorful interpretations of the experience of taking them in. The unseen observer plays an important role in these works, shaping them through an inquisitive, personal lens. Just as they served Neutra as a form of communication that transcended language barriers, these drawings, in turn, offer a profound window into the perspective and interior life of their celebrated maker. Born in Vienna, Austria, Richard Neutra is primarily known for his Southern California-based architectural practice. He was mentored by Adolph Loos and was inspired to come to the United States after being exposed to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. After moving to the U.S., Neutra worked with Wright as well as Rudolph Schindler. His American breakthrough came with the Lovell Health House in 1927-1929, and he was subsequently featured in the Museum of Modern Art’s traveling survey of Modern Architecture in 1932. Neutra continued to design groundbreaking modernist homes of steel and glass around Southern California and its environs. He returned to Europe toward the end of his life, where he designed several of his late projects.

In To Hold a Thing, Awad continues to explore the space between abstract and figurative painting. Each canvas begins with an expressive underpainting rendered in watercolor and vinyl paint. The artist then studies these improvisations: She makes charcoal-on-paper drawings in response to their marks, then seeks out the figures within the fields of lush color, coaxing each body out into the open with fluid gestural lines set against vivid chunks of oil paint. Awad manipulates paint with intuition and the focus of a seasoned alchemist. Through years of study and practice, she has come to control not only the way that colors respond to one another visually, but also how pigments interact on a molecular level. Painting wet into wet with different water soluble mediums prompts chemical reactions. While suspended in water, red repels white and yellow absorbs black. When these reactions settle, they become frozen in time like igneous rock formations on the surface of her canvases. These moments are then delicately embellished with layers upon layers of oil paint, and an even richer surface remains. The nude figures in Awad’s compositions do not depict any specific person or persons. Instead, they can be seen as ghosts from the rich history of Western painting. Echos of Gauguin, Picasso, DeKooning, Cassatt, and numerous other familiars vibrate within her electric colors. The nude, female form as subject exists as a through line in this history, and in these paintings it becomes a marker of “subject” to be sought out by the viewer, who is tasked with the puzzle of distinguishing the abstractions from the legs, breasts, faces, etc. These figures are pointedly not self portraits, but their ability to reflect on and exist within a tradition that is greater than any one individual is a comforting metaphor that unfolds on these canvases for both artist and viewer.

Dating from the 1950s, 1970s, and 1980s, the three groupings of artworks in this exhibition demonstrate the recurring formal preoccupations with structure, movement, and perspective that define Diebenkorn’s endlessly powerful and mysterious oeuvre. These artworks also illuminate the approaches and motifs that captured the artist’s attention at particular points in his career, including the meaningful employment of color, the translation of landscape into two-dimensional terms, and a fascination with spade and club forms. Intimate in scale and medium, this exhibition communicates the poetic sensitivities inherent to Diebenkorn’s work and deepens our understanding of the artist’s distinct visual vocabulary. The earliest works in this presentation, dating from 1950 to 1955, are characterized by harmonized arrangements of blue and black ink, crayon, and charcoal, set against a white paper ground. Cups and patterns appear as quotidian markers within fields of abstraction, expressions of Diebenkorn’s known reverence for his immediate surroundings: In this rendering of everyday objects a reversal occurs, grounding the lyricism of free-flowing shapes in reality and signaling that these images are drawn from life. The use of just one color, a ‘Diebenkorn blue,’ underscores the philosophical weight the artist perceived in humble observations and the spiritual satisfaction he found in the distilled hues of the sky and ocean. Diebenkorn’s gouache paintings and etchings from the 1970s similarly engage with the beauty and truth to be found in simplicity as dynamic achromic lines prudently dissect each picture plane. Expanding on the legacy of Mondrian, a significant influence, Diebenkorn’s works diagram land- and cityscapes through transcendent geometric delineations, a feature which also defines the epic cycle of paintings and drawings. Aerial photographs taken by the artist verify that these compositions are akin to maps, distinguishing Diebenkorn from other Modernists as a figure who created across the continuum of abstraction and representation. The spade and club are significant motifs which captivated Diebenkorn’s attention and appear in full force in the mixed media works from the 1980s. Prior artworks, like those of the 1950s, anticipate this fascination through bulbous curves and other sensuous forms. It was primarily, however, from 1980 to 1982 that the artist devoted himself to these symbols, first encountered as a child, as if to process a lingering subconscious fixation. The personal significance of these shapes to the artist is unknown and secondary to their iconic value, dubbed ‘heraldic imagery’ by contemporary critics. These works stand out not only for their mysterious symbolic allusions, but also through a clear figure-ground relationship that suggests an association with the human figure. Even in a presentation across three time periods of the artist’s oeuvre, this collection of artworks illustrates the distinct and ranging poetry of Diebenkorn’s creative inquiries. Indeed, a trajectory of thought is detectable between the inky dividing lines of the earliest works and the thoughtfully segmented compositions from the 1970s, and the curvature of the symbolic spade appears more evident with each consideration. What is offered by these works on paper are the revelations of an extraordinary mind, one which saw composition in all things. — Richard Diebenkorn Born over 100 years ago, Richard Diebenkorn (1922–1993) produced a body of work whose beauty and mysteriously empathic nature has long attracted many devotees worldwide. He lived during the period of America’s great surge onto the world stage of visual art, working alongside the likes of Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, and Joan Mitchell, but forging a decisively independent style. While still in his twenties he moved briefly to New York from his San Francisco region, realizing that its artistic climate was the most stimulating locus in the United States, but soon returned to California where, aside from two important early years in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a year teaching in Urbana, Illinois, he remained. From a glorious early flowering in the language of Abstract Expressionism, where he responded directly to the light and landscapes of New Mexico and the urban Midwest, Diebenkorn turned to a prolonged period of making figurative and landscape art, going very much against the grain of his generation. A leader in Bay Area figurative painting, Diebenkorn produced work that was received with enormous affection and excitement by a wide audience. Then, quite abruptly in 1966, he turned to a new form of abstraction, again decisively different from his peers. Moving from Berkeley to Los Angeles, he proceeded to make the monumental abstract works known as the “Ocean Park” series, incorporating the lessons of two of his key influences, Henri Matisse and Piet Mondrian. — Jane Livingston
