40th Anniversary Exhibition

Michael Kohn’s eponymous gallery has been a fixture of the Hollywood art scene since its founding in 1985 and relocation to Highland Avenue in 2014. He opened with an exhibition of artists from New York, but has since established a broad roster, with several notable LA artists including Lita Albuquerque, Wallace Berman, Joe Goode, and Chiffon Thomas. This 40th anniversary exhibition features work by a wide selection of artists who have exhibited at the gallery, such as Keith Haring, Alicia Adamerovich, Martha Alf, Kenny Scharf, Gonzalo Lebrija, and many others. The show will also include the premiere of the restored version of Bruce Conner’s film “The White Rose” (1967), documenting the extraction of Jay DeFeo’s monumental painting “The Rose” (1958–1966) through the window of her San Francisco apartment.
