BALDESSARI ARTWORK ON DISPLAY |
"Hands and/or Feet (Part One Hat/Gun/Bird)" by artist John Baldessari is on view in UM's Main Hall in the Office of the President lobby through June 10.
The artwork can be viewed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except University holidays.
A wonderfully representative work by Baldessari, this large-scale three-dimensional print is on loan to MMAC from an anonymous lender. The museum brings artwork by internationally known artists to campus annually as part of its Visiting Artworks program.
Baldessari is an enormously influential American artist whose art and teaching career at The California Institute of Arts and the University of California, Los Angeles, have profoundly affected a generation of artists.
