Annenberg Space for Photography
« Community space » just opened. Dedicated to photography. Located where the Shubert Theatre used to be, in Century City. Great facility.
Inaugural exhibit dedicated to photographers/photography of Los Angeles (“l8s ang3les”): contemporary houses; celebrities of Hollywood; LA youth; war abroad. 8 worldwide known photographers, plus 3 photo-journalists from the Los Angeles Times. Particularly struck by Julius Shulman and Tim-Street Porter’s photos of modern Southern California houses.
Decided to buy Laurence Shulman’s massive 3-volume, coffee-table size, photo retrospective Modernism Rediscovered, published by Taschen, for her graduation gift.http://www.annenbergspaceforphotography.org/index.asp
