| Patrick Martinez, Struggle and Progress (Frederick Douglass), 2018. Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles |
The Museum of Contemporary Art has added a neon piece by Patrick Martinez, Struggle and Progress (Frederick Douglass), 2018. One of an edition of three, it's a gift of Wonmi Kwon and Nancy Kwon Merrihew in honor of Director Johanna Burton.
This is MOCA's first work by Martinez. Other works by the artist are in the collections of LACMA, the Museum of Latin American Art, and the California African American Museum.
For an update on MOCA's evolving collection, "Old and New Dreams: Recent Acquisitions in a Collection" runs Mar. 7 to Sep. 11, 2022 at Grand Avenue. The website description invokes "themes that have been present in MOCA's Collection from its earliest days," including "representations of technological sentience; the intersection of geometric modernism and self-taught or vernacular art; and occultism in California art."
