Hidden Treasures

I’m in Dallas but will be trying to post periodically.

When we were in Paris late last year we caught a show at a new contemporary art space called the La Maison Rouge where they had rebuilt collectors living rooms, bedrooms ,and bathrooms and re-hung their collections just as they had them at home. It was a great exhibit, you should see some of the great art work people hang in their bathrooms. Anyway, this weekend is an opening I will definitely be attending.

The Laguna Art Museum opens Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art From Private Collections. It opens this Saturday.

Laguna’s Hidden Treasures: Art from Private Collections will focus on collectors and their art collections in Laguna Beach and the vicinity. Works included in the exhibition will range from early-twentieth century to early-twenty-first century, juxtaposed to one another in unusual and interesting ways. Profiles on the collectors, their collections, and the selected artwork will accompany the selections. One to three works will be selected for inclusion from each collector.

The OC Art Blog was created in 2004 as a way to build community and promote the marginalized but dynamic Orange County art scene.
