The Centre Pompidou will be hosting a major exhibition on the artistic scene of Los
Angeles from 1955 to 1985. There will be approximately 350 works on show by 85
artists.
Los Angeles is the first exhibition on this scale that aims to demonstrate the
importance and specific characteristics of an artistic context yet to be discovered.
The Los Angeles artistic scene is unique in its multiform nature and in its
continuous renewal of aesthetics and artists. Art here is inspired by the complexity
of this “ville-monde" or megalopolis in which underground movements mix with popular
Californian culture, with its community expression as with the world of its dream
machines of Hollywood and Disneyland.
