Lari Pittman: Mood Books at The Huntington

Lari Pittman: Mood Books

 

The Huntington, California

3 September, 2016 - 20 February, 2017

 

Huntington visitors can see the artist at his hallucinogenic best in this new exhibition, featuring six monumental illustrated books, each opening to more than four feet in width, contain 65 paintings by the artist. They draw from a variety of aesthetic traditions, ranging from decorative art and design to advertising and folk art. The impact of the books is further elevated by an installation conceived by award-winning Los Angeles architect Michael Maltzan. Grand, sculptural pedestals hold the books open so visitors can enjoy a direct, unimpeded experience.
