Description
Book SynopsisDuring the 1960s and 1970s, a loosely affiliated group of Los Angeles artists embraced light as their primary medium. This title explores and documents the unique traits of the work produced in Southern California during the 1960s and 1970s and traces its influence on different generations of international artists.
Trade Review"Of the many superb books related to 'Pacific Standard Time,' Phenomenal is among the most elegant." Art In America "Beautifully illustrated and impressively researched... Represents an important contribution to the deepening of scholarship on this still poorly understood yet fundamental dimension of postwar Los Angeles art." Choice "Impressive... Notable for including many large-scale, immersive works that are rarely shown to the public." Southern California Quarterly
