Palm Springs Art Museum

Whenever I’m in Palm Springs, I make a habit of going to the Palm Springs Art Museum.  In recent visits I’ve seen work by Hank Willis Thomas and Roger Ballen in the exhibits the museum has presented.  Additionally, I like revisiting some of the work they have in their permanent collection.

Some of my favorites from their permanent collection are The Starn Twins and Anselm Kiefer.

Other Works PSAM-4 PSAM-7Not to be missed is their glass art collection, which is located in the gallery just west of the gift shop.  There is some truly beautiful work in there.

The Palm Springs Art Museum is a true gem in the desert. If you are passing though the area, be sure to include this museum on your list of must sees.

INFOCUS Visits Kopeikin Gallery

Saturday, May 26th, members of INFOCUS, the photography support group of the Phoenix Art Museum, traveled to L.A.. The first stop was at Kopeikin Gallery where an exhibition by Firooz Zahedi was on display.

While there, Paul Kopekin showed the boxed edition of Carpoolers by Alejandro Cartagena, which comes with a poster and a print. There is also a regular edition available.  I’ve followed Alejandro’s work for several years and previously purchased his book, Suburbia Mexicana, which documents his concern for misguided urban planning, a subject which is not limited to his home town of Monterrey, Mexico, but is relevant to many urban areas around the world.

Also discussed was Andy Freeberg’s book, Guardians, containing photographs of Russian women museum guards. Andy had a signing later that day at Paris Photo LA of his book Art Fare. Paul showed the group some of the prints from Andy’s series, Art Fare, which were filled with humor.

While there, I also got to see some small prints from Richard Tuschman’s series, Hopper Meditations. Absolutely beautiful images.
