I got an email from my fellow blogger and interior designer, David John (of the fabulous you have been here sometime) letting me know he has curated a temporary exhibition space for LAMA’s upcoming auction. I was intrigued, natch, so I clicked on over to LAMA’s site and was totally wowed. I had no idea about this auction, Mr. John, so thanks for the hook up!
The collection being sold is that of Richard Dorso, a power player in the Los Angeles midcentury entertainment scene, and the sale is timed to coincide with Pacific Standard Time. While Mr. Dorso’s works don’t fall exactly within the confines of the PST range (1945-1980), LAMA has chosen to focus instead on “what a typical collector was interested in during this period”. I approve!

Wow, the art and the installation look incredible. totally inspiring!
Team Vasa! I am in the middle of packing boxes to move and this has me wishing I was spending my time buying art instead!
I thought I was dying over the art, but I really fell in love with Norman Lear’s description of his best friend. It seems extra-sweet and dear to me when men are so open about the significance of their friendships. Cannot wait to see what you buy!!
I checked out the preview a couple of weeks ago and registered to bid. Let’s hope we’re not going after the same pieces!
seriously!
isn’t that the truth. & it just killed me…
