A weekend in the artworld

Last night I went to a handful of openings, all on opposite ends of town. Moira Hahn's amazing show in Culver City, Lisa Adams' show in Mid Wilshire (one of the years best) and Renee Amitai's show at Cella Gallery in North Hollywood. Sales were strong at all shows and the art was excellent.

I was surprised at how much North Hollywood changed. Mention North Hollywood and it brings images of blue collar, mullets, skinheads and muffler and welding shops. It was a place to avoid at all costs. But now, Lankershim Blvd. is filled with night clubs with lines of 100+, restaurants, hip stores, lofts and polished art galleries. Couldn't believe it.

Today we headed out to Photo LA. Great seeing photo galleries from all over the world. Lots of amazing work. I have officially overdosed on art this weekend. Will be nice to spend tomorrow back in the studio.
