LUCIE FOUNDATION PARTICIPATING IN 2010 LOS ANGELES ART SHOW - JANUARY 20TH THROUGH 24TH.

The Lucie Foundation is honored to participate in this year's Los Angeles Art Show. It's our first opportunity to do so and we are delighted to present the installation Group LA 2008: An Intimate View of Los Angeles through the eyes of 30 photographers, conceived and directed by Helen K. Garber. Each participating photographer has marked their territory by documenting the neighborhood in which they have chosen to reside, work or play to produce a narrative portrait - all of which have been formatted for simultaneous looping, modular digital display which will deliver thirty unique, up-to-minute perspectives of this great city.

This exhibition/installation had it's debut at MINARC/GALLERY SKART during the inaugural Month of Photography Los Angeles in April 2009.

The Los Angeles Art Show is an encyclopedic art event that will feature more than 130 international exhibitors, an engaging lecture series and special events program, a sculpture garden, and special exhibit spaces, and fun-filled evening mixers.

The 2010 Opening Night Preview will take place on Wednesday, January 20th, to benefit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Inner City Arts.

The Los Angeles Art Show continues to be the largest art fair on the West Coast and a must-see for both the art connoisseur and the arts-curious. With 2009 posting a record-breaking attendance of 35,000 visitors and exceptional sales, the 2010 show promises to be larger and more encompassing. Works sold at the 2009 show include pieces by: Charles Partridge Adams, Jasper Johns, Robert Motherwell, Rembrandt, Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel & Emerson Woelffer.

At the upcoming 2010 show, cutting-edge and emerging artists' works will be on display alongside old century masterpieces with prices reaching into the millions. With more than 15,000 significant paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings and prints on exhibit and available for purchase, the Los Angeles Art Show brings together the West Coast art community for an internationally attended five-day celebration of the arts.
