  • Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) Worked in Various Careers Before Turning His Attention to Sculpture Full Time at the Age of Thirty
    1950 Sculpture in Wood and Stone by Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) worked in various careers before turning his attention to sculpture full time at the age of thirty. His skills earned him a position as a professor of art at the University of Texas and commissions from many public and private institutions. His sculptures are created in various media, such as Lucite and steel. This exhibition of the California-based artist’s work presented thirty-seven of his sculptures. Barnes studied with Carl Milles (1875– 1955) at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. [File contents: exhibition flier] Color Compositions by June Wayne (March) June Wayne’s (1918–2011) work received publicity in an article by Jules Langsner, who praised her for developing techniques of drawing the viewer’s eye through imagery and producing a sense of movement in her subjects. Her more recent works (as presented in the show) were drawn from the dilemmas to be found in Franz Kafka’s works. [File contents: two articles, one more appropriate for a later show of 1953 in memoriam Director Donald Bear] Prints by Ralph Scharff (April) Sixteen pieces by Ralph Scharff (1922–1993) were exhibited in the Thayer Gallery. Some of the works included in this exhibition were Apocrypha, I Hate Birds, Walpurgisnacht, Winter 1940, Nine Cats, and Four Cows and Tree Oranges. Watercolors by James Couper Wright (April 3–April 15) Eighteen of James Couper Wright’s (1906–1969) watercolors were presented in this exhibition. Wright was born in Scotland, but made his home in Southern California for the previous eleven years.

  • Perchance to Dream to Be? to Sleep? to Die? for Rick Owens and His New Furniture Designs, These Are the Questions by ROBIN SAYERS
    Los Angeles Times Magazine, May 2010 latimes.com LA STORIES LA STYLE LA LIVING LA CULTURE LA BLOGS LA VIDEOS INSIDE L.A. BROWSE Current Issue Past Issues Topics POPULAR Overheard 50 Turn It Up FOLLOW Twitter Facebook RSS SEARCH MAY 2010 Perchance to Dream To be? To sleep? To die? For Rick Owens and his new furniture designs, these are the questions by ROBIN SAYERS Two otherworldly funerary images, both found in tales of eternal sleep interrupted, made indelible marks on wee Rick Owens’ psyche. “Sleeping Beauty’s glass coffin and Jesus’ empty tomb with the lid askew are my earliest memories linked to furniture,” says Owens. “I did go to Catholic school, but that’s still pretty ripe for analysis.” ADVERTISEMENT Given his fixation, it seems fitting that the fashion visionary would go with a sleep- centric theme for the latest exhibition of his furniture, Pavane for a Dead Princess. For the inaugural stateside showing of these intensely personal designs, he transformed Manhattan’s Salon 94 into a boudoir, complete with floor-to-ceiling sheared mink curtains and a low-slung bed with a massive, arcuated alabaster headboard. New scientific discovery fuels muscle building The show—which runs May 8 to June 25 and is cocurated by Rudy Weissenberg and Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn—borrows its title from an 1899 piano solo by Maurice Ravel. “My parents always had Debussy, Wagner and Ravel playing,” says Owens, a native of the Central California town of Porterville. “I was haunted by the beauty of the music and the mystery of its title.

  • Tony Duquette
    “More is More — What a way to live! Be as original as Tony Duquette! Dress to excess, as much as to impress, and let Dawnridge be your Utopia” - Tony Duquette AN AMERICAN DESIGN ICON Tony Duquette was a native of Los Angeles, California and an internationally acclaimed artist and designer. Considered by museums to be an American design icon, as a student, Duquette was awarded scholarships at both the prestigious Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Yale School of the Theatre. He began his career working in promotional advertising, creating special environments for the latest seasonal fashions. He also freelanced for well-known designers such as the legendary William Haines, James Pendleton and Adrian. In the early 1940’s, Duquette was discovered by Lady Elsie de Wolfe Mendl, the international arbiter of taste. Through the patronage of Sir Charles and Lady Mendl, Duquette was able to establish himself as one of the leading designers in Los Angeles, where he worked increasingly for the film industry, creating beautiful costumes and settings for many Metro Goldwyn Mayer productions under the auspices of the great producer, Arthur Freed and the celebrated director, Vincente Minnelli. After WWII, Duquette continued his works for private clients and for the theatre and motion pictures. In 1949 Duquette married the beautiful and talented artist Elizabeth Johnstone at a private ceremony at “Pickfair” with America’s Sweetheart, Mary Pickford attending as matron of honor and Academy Award winning actor, Buddy Rogers standing as Tony’s best man. The young couple, whose particular talents complimented each other’s, collaborated on many design commissions together and were sought out as an attractive addition to the Hollywood social scene.

Box 56478, Sherman Oaks, CA 91413, 800.9SAHSCC, www.sahscc.org Gebhard on Smith SAH/SCC Event Sunday, January 29th Authors on Architecture welcomes writer Patricia Gebhard to a book-signing on Sunday, January 29th, 2-4PM. She will sign and discuss the research she conducted for her new book George Washington Smith: Architect of Spanish Colonial Revival (Gibbs Smith, 2006) at Hennessey & Ingalls, 214 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica; 310.458.9074. This event is free and open to the public. Authors on Architecture The monograph chronicles Smith’s life from birth through death using narrative, hundreds of color photographs, and drawings. Gebhard details each of Smith’s buildings as it is was built and the conclusion of his unfinished projects by Smith’s assistants. As the architect was hailed as the “Father of Spanish Colonial Revival,” Gebhard describes how aged European structures influenced Smith’s signature designs. One of the first architects to gain inspiration from the scale, proportion, color, and texture of Spanish farmhouses, Smith tailored these attributes for the west coast, beginning with his own house in Montecito. Throughout this 192-page book—which also includes homes in other regions, such as Arizona, Texas, and Colorado—Gebhard surveys the work and the man who founded California’s distinct architectural style. Gebhard, the widow of the late David Gebhard, is a prolific writer in her own right who has published works on librarianship, architectural history and criticism, and a mystery novel titled Motives for Murder.
