Modern Art in Los Angeles: Assemblage and Politics

Video

 

Los Angeles artists Ed Bereal, Mel Edwards, George Herms, Nancy Reddin Kienholz, and Betye Saar all made assemblage works that reflected on the charged political climate of postwar America. They used found materials to produce complex objects that engaged with issues including the civil rights movement, the war in Vietnam, and the censorship of art. This lively discussion explored how the medium of assemblage sculpture emerged and continues to thrive as a tool of social critique and transformation.
