You totally missed it, it was fantastic and instead you found other things to do.I should have marketed the hell out of the John Baldessari show since he is one of my favs, but I didn't. I love his tongue and cheek, art is not serious style. But hey, LACMA could have done a much better job at showing his brilliance. "simone kissing a palm tree" probably wasn't the best choice for drawing people in, except if you like 1970s pretty girls in unflattering white pants. I brought a potential suitor to LACMA to see it and he said..
" I am glad you know something about this show, because that is the most unappealing advertising ever"
Which I agree.
What I like about Baldessari is that secretly he has inspired me. From the compositions of photos that I don't know why I like that I take, from my laughter at modern art that takes itself just a little too seriously and I also really like pointing.
But I guess this is all moot because you missed it.
