This Week in LA: Nov. 13→19
In this Edition: From Guerrilla Girls to Enchanted Forests – Art That Challenges the Status Quo
This week marks a milestone moment as the Getty Center opens its highly anticipated Guerrilla Girls retrospective, celebrating 40 years of the anonymous feminist collective’s fearless interventions in the art world. Across town, Gagosian in Beverly Hills presents Edmund de Waal’s exquisite porcelain vessels in gilded vitrines—meditations on memory, displacement, and the refuge found in beauty. Deitch Gallery brings Alteronce Gumby’s interdisciplinary exploration of color through tonal paintings, resin sculptures, and light well installations that harness natural phenomena to shape perception.
In the Arts District, Vielmetter Los Angeles showcases Kiriakos Tompolidis’s intimate paintings navigating the space between cultures following his move from Berlin to Mexico City, while Nicodim Gallery unveils Jeanine Brito’s subversive fairy tale reimaginings that pull back the curtain on enchanted forests with teeth bared. Check out this week’s top picks below and start planning your gallery route!
