Thanks to the LA Times CultureMonster blog, I now know that the greatest film director of our time will be showing some of his new paintings in our back yard.
Here are the details from GriffinLA.com:
DAVID LYNCH: New Paintings
September 12th – December 12th, 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 12th, 2009
GRIFFIN is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new monumental paintings by David Lynch. This will be his first exhibition with the gallery and his first solo exhibition of paintings in Los Angeles in over a decade.
David Lynch: New Paintings is presented in collaboration with James Corcoran Gallery, whose relationship of more than twenty years with the artist has led to numerous exhibitions, including three solo shows at the James Corcoran Gallery, Santa Monica in 1987, 1989, and 1993, as well as museum shows at the Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan in 1991 and the Sala Parpallo, Valencia, Spain in 1992. Lynch was also the subject of a 1989 solo exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery, New York, and more recently, a 2007 retrospective at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris, which showed 40 years of his paintings, drawings, and photographs.
