LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/21/07 -- Town Hall Los Angeles presents "Art
Collecting for Newbies," a panel discussion with leaders from the local
art scene at 6:00 PM on March 29, 2007 at Pharmaka Art.
Los Angeles is home to the largest number of art galleries in the country.
A recent article in Business Week noted that artists are often an early
sign of neighborhood gentrification. It also ranked Los Angeles No.1 on
their list of top 10 destinations for artists.
Bert Green, gallery director, Bert Green Fine Art; Shane Guffogg, artist
and founding member, Pharmaka; Alma Ruiz, curator, Museum of Contemporary
Art; and Paul Ruscha, art collector and manager, Ed Ruscha's Studio; will
offer their expertise to Angelenos on building personal art collections.
On the subject of collecting art, Guffogg states, "Artists create and
collectors collect for personal reasons, but those reasons communicate
thoughts and feelings and ultimately an identity." Guffogg received his
Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cal Arts and is a founding member of Pharmaka.
Green graduated from New York University and relocated to Los Angeles in
1999. Ruiz has curated numerous exhibitions of contemporary art with a
primary focus on the postwar period in Italy and Latin America, and has
worked with emerging artists.
Ruscha has been a photographer for 35 years and spent the last 20 years as
an in-house photographer and documentarian for his brother, artist Ed
Ruscha.
This is the second event in March that Town Hall is hosting as part of the
recently announced public/private initiative, "Creative LA(SM)" --
celebrating LA's creative industries. For 70 years, Town Hall has promoted
civic participation, pride, and awareness. To stay informed, join Town Hall.
All members of the media are invited to cover this event.
