Songs in the Key of Los Angeles: Sheet Music from the Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library
Long before MP3 files and ringtones dominated the music realm of pop culture, sheet music was all the rage. From the 1850s through the 1950s, stores cropped up selling nothing but the stuff, with institutions like the Los Angeles Times giving away free printed songs as special supplements to its regular newspaper. The Los Angeles Central Library has since amassed the now-rare items into a sheet-music collection 50,000-pieces strong, providing a huge resource for professor Josh Kun, director of the Popular Music Project at USC Annenberg’s Norman Lear Center, and his students to research material for a new book from Angel City Press: Songs in the Key of Los Angeles: Sheet Music from the Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library. … Read More

Dan Flavin’s ‘”monument” on the survival of Mrs. Reppin’: The Story Behind the Fluorescent Tubes
The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena is exhibiting an illuminating sculpture from its permanent collection by Dan Flavin: “monument” on the survival of Mrs. Reppin, and the story behind it is almost as interesting as the artwork itself. Flavin made the sculpture in 1966 while he had a show in Berlin at Rudolph Zwirner Gallery. That’s when he met the eponymous Mrs. Reppin, a relative of Zwirner’s who told Flavin she was a British citizen married to a German soldier and later interned by the Allies for not divorcing her German husband. Flavin was so taken by her story, he dedicated the sculpture to her. (The artist dedicated one of his early incandescent-light pieces to his twin brother who had passed away from polio.) … Read More

Electrifying Photos of Los Angeles, 1940-1990
Not far from Downtown Los Angeles, the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens is the former home of American railroad magnate Henry E. Huntington, whose 500-acre estate and massive collection of 18th-century British portraiture became available to the public after his death in 1927. While the Huntington is definitely worth a visit in person, it’s also possible to check out a few of its resources online. Form and Landscape: Southern California Edison and the Los Angeles Basin, 1940–1990 is a web-based exhibition presented by the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West featuring a selection of 70,000 images from Southern California Edison, the company that supplies the majority of electricity to the LA area. As part of the Getty’s initiative, Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in LA, authors, scholars, and other experts have culled the Huntington’s massive archive documenting the region’s — quite literally — electrifying history. … Read More
