Larry Johnson -June 21 - September 6, 2009
The Hammer Museum presents the first full-scale survey exhibition in the U.S. of the work of Larry Johnson. Johnson, born in 1959, is one of many important figures who emerged from CalArts in the 1980s. His unique style blends drawing, painting, photography, graphic design, and text.
