In the latter half of the twentieth century, Los Angeles took off as an international art capital. Catalog L.A. presents a comprehensive timeline of the burgeoning art scene that reflected the city's m lange of pop culture, celebrity, and political influences. Hundreds of images covering all the major exhibitions of the era along with excerpts from film, television, literature, and current events provide a historical perspective on the metropolis's cultural and artistic innovations. A compendium of modern art, ephemera, critical texts, and revealing interviews, this archive chronicles the city's thirty-year metamorphosis into an art giant. Based upon a major retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in 2006, Catalog L.A. illuminates a radical period that forever altered the landscape of contemporary art.
