L.A.’s most iconic artist, John Baldessari, is currently being featured in over five shows in Los Angeles, and we insist that you check out the most impressive and extensive exhibit of them all: Pure Beauty! Currently featured at our very own Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s,  the show features more than 150 pieces spanning the Baldessari’s career from 1962 to today, and includes works in a variety of mediums: canvas, photography, interactive videos, and books. The retrospective is so marvelous, you will find yourself being asked to leave at the museums closing.

If you can’t make it to L.A.C.M.A this summer, John Baldessari has teamed up with L.A.’s ForYourArt and Ovation to create an interactive artwork Iphone/Ipad app called “Make Your Own Art“! The program allows you to interact with his famous piece, In Still Life 2001-2010, and make your own pieces of artwork. John Baldessari’s new app, In Still Life 2001-2010, is available on iTunes for Apple users and at ForYourArt’s site for PC users, and guess what? It’s free.
