"This catalog was published in conjunction with the exhibition California Landscape into Abstraction: Works from the Permanent Collection of the Orange County Museum of Art, organized and presented by the Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, California, December 15, 2013-March 9, 2014."
2010 California Biennial
Created for the Orange County Museum of Art's renowned California Biennial, this exhibition catalogue features forty-five contemporary California-based artists and collectives in all their rich diversity. The works shown here include remarkable developments in contemporary art, including drawing and works on paper, film and video, installation, painting, performance and dance, photography, sculpture, and text-based work. This exhibition and catalogue continue the museum's four-decade history of presenting new developments in contemporary art and identifying new talent on the verge of national and international recognition. 'California is an inimitable and variegated environment in which to work as an artist, ' states Sarah Bancroft, the exhibition's curator. 'The 2010 presentation champions emerging artists, celebrates a selection of more established practitioners, and shares a unique vision of the vibrant practices and the disparate media found in the state today.' This catalogue offers four-page entries for each artist, featuring reproductions of their works, an extensive interview, and biographical material

Birth of the Cool
"When we think of the gardens of Southern California, we tend to think of the enormous semiarid landscapes of the Huntington and Rancho Los Alamitos, often built on the sprawling grounds of former ranches.

Quincy Jones, and John Lautner. These architects saw the garden as an outdoor extension of the space of the houses they designed, rather than a neo-Spanish fantasy to be added later by a "landscapist." Their modern gardens made use of ...

State of Mind
"There is not a trace of the provincial nor the apologetic in the tone of the State of Mind texts. Rather there is a justified claim for the sophisticated originality of this Californian art—sophisticated because the authors have convincingly argued that the artists, for the most part, had many conscious connections and familiarity with art from the rest of the country and Europe, yet were driven by a desire to be independent and different." —Moira Roth, editor and contributor, The Amazing Decade: Women and Performance Art in America 1970-1980 "State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970 is an essential overview of the rich and complex moment when California assumed its role as a leadin...
Two Schools of Cool
Representing contemporary artists from the last half century, this unique exhibition catalog captures the spirit of a daring experiment to pair California icons with their new millennium comrades. In the 1960s and 1970s a group of aesthetic adventurers transformed L.A. from cultural desert to artistic oasis. These West Coast artists, poets, dancers, filmmakers, and photographers fomented a creative outburst that rivalled New York City's. Nearly four decades later, Southern California remains a fertile ground for some of the most exciting and daring art being made today. This fascinating book accompanying an exhibition of the same name explores the two "Schools of Cool" in collaborative, inte...
