Highlighting Recent Acquistions

As a MOCA member I was invited to the End of Summer Social on Sunday evening to view two exhibits: Recent Acquisitions and Painting and Sculptures from the Collection. It was the perfect duo of new and classic. Not to mention, the entire portfolio of photographs, The Americans, made during the mid-1950's by Robert Frank. It was the first time in a long time that I was so excited by compelling new works acquired over the last five years for the permanent collection. Watch for Suzanne Lacy's piece, 'Prostitution Notes', 1975, a diary-of-sorts which highlights a trip through Beverly Hills and Hollywood. http://www.moca.org/
