Michael Kohn Marks 40 Years in L.A.
Everyone loves a party, and Michael Kohn Gallery’s 40th Anniversary Exhibition is no exception. Since setting up shop at its original location on Robertson Boulevard in 1985, the cutting-edge contemporary art gallery has showcased works by artists like Richard Tuttle, Dennis Hopper, Joe Goode, Alex Katz, and Lita Albuquerque. In celebration of its first four decades, the gallery has put together a group show that includes works by Keith Haring, Chiffon Thomas, and Alicia Adamerovich alongside many others. In honor of its ruby jubilee, a portion of the gallery will be transformed into an intimate theater to debut the restoration of The White Rose, Bruce Conner’s 1967 seven-minute black-and-white video work set in San Francisco. With a decades-spanning dedication to artists and art history, MKG has remained tied to L.A.’s ever-evolving culture and art scene with a keen curatorial eye and a commitment to supporting emerging and mid-career artists.
