The New Cool.





Ed Ruscha



The art form has long been given up for dead, but just because New York no longer dominates the scene doesn't mean it's failing. Young artists in L.A. help it thrive. ......

Painting gets a broader brush

An interesting piece about the history of painting in L.A, the beginning of the "Cool School, L.A.'s beginning as a new art capital and its relation to the end of the NY scene.

L.A. stories



A car drove through our neighbor's store front the other day and freaked everyone out, but my favorite recent HVW8 L.A. Gallery car crash madness was a couple months ago there was a loud bang outside; somehow this guy drove his car straight into a tree across the street without a soul in site (it was about 12am). Luckily he was fine .... not so much can be said for the car or tree. It was like a TJ hooker episode.
