Super Sunday / Crosscurrents at The Getty
I went onthe last day of the exhibit, February 5th.
I guess there was a big football game going on that day too.
The Central Garden, by Robert Irwin
This is the PST nerve center.
It's set up like a war room to plan your attack on all the PST exhibits.

The first gallery in Crosscurrents is a mix off hard-edge paintings, like the John McLaughlin above and
big clay pieces by Peter Voulkos, John Mason and the Henry Takemoto pot below.
Here he is with his pot at the studio of John Mason and Peter Voulkos,

Greetings from L.A.
This was a collection of ephemera from the Getty Research Institute’s archives.
The exhibit showed how LA artists communicated the word about their art to the public.

The guards at The Getty are pretty strict about not taking photos, but I had to sneak this one.
It's from the Greetings from LA gallery.
Apparently, the smart set was hip to Modern Color and had this Baughman table.
