The sprawling exhibit, "Art of Two Germans / Cold War Cultures", is a richly details survey of nearly 50 years of painting, sculpture, photographs and other work made in the wake of shadow of World World II. It took us about two hours to make our way through 300 works by 120 artists. I was grateful to be with a German-born baby boomer to help me interpret a few of the pieces. The timeline put generations of work into a new perspective. Gallery after gallery in the BCAM building, 2nd floor, looks back at Germany's fractured past. http://www.lacma.org/
