Whether you’re celebrating President’s Day from the warmth of your bed or are happily plugging away at the office like we are, below are few art events that are worth checking out this week:
-In honor of President’s Day, LACMA is offering free admission to the museum today until 8pm. Among the current exhibitions is Larry Fink: Hollywood, a collection of photos the society shutterbug took during Vanity Fair‘s annual Oscar Night parties from 2000-2009. [LACMA]
-Over at the Ambach and Rice @ Kustalle LA gallery, Angeleno Eric Yahnker’s exhibition is being called the “funniest I’ve ever seen here in years” by one Artforum critic. Among other things, the mixed media show features “a six-by-six-foot colored-pencil drawing, framed in diamond shape, of a pizza slice lounging on a bed of tulips.” [ArtForum]
-Finally, gallery-goers have just 12 days left to catch LA-based celebrity portrait photographer Austin Young at the Pop tART Gallery. The public is invited to participate and have their picture taken by the famed shooter, and the resulting artwork will be hung on the wall as part of Young’s solo exhibition at the gallery. Through March 5th. [Pop tART]
