"This landmark exhibition brings two seminal yet under-studied Los Angeles artists into close conversation for the very first time. Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken bridged modernist and emerging post-modernist trends by ushering in the use of photography as a key element of contemporary avant-garde art. Their works are explored within the unique cultural context of 1960s and 1970s Southern California, as it fueled and amplified their highly original creative approaches. This lovely catalog in the form of a treasure box is packed with images, reproductions, ephemera, a DVD and essays that capture the random spirit of innovation that permeated this important era". A brand new, pristine example of this innovative catalogue published in conjunction with a 2011 "Pacific Standard Time" exhibition held at Pasadena's Armory Center for the Arts still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 1-893900-17-7 Inventory Number: 024933
