Zocalo Public Square sponsored a panel discussion in Los Angeles Grand Park on the topics of How Can L.A.’s Art Museums Thrive? One of the panelists was Los Angeles County Museum of Art Director Michael Govan. Govan had two good comments lon the state of art in Los Angeles. (Rough quotes.)
"If you include the visual arts in Hollywood along with the other artists, photographers, and sculptors, there are more artists in Los Angeles now than in any city ever in history."
"Los Angeles museums are often compared to New York musuems. Most Los Angeles museums are much younger and only now coming into their own. Los Angeles museums now are growing and evolving like the New York museums of the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's."
Govan feels that overall this is a great time to be involved in art in Los Angeles.
