Venice Artist Featured on NPR

NPR spotlights the 81-year-old conceptual artist.

Venice-based artist John Baldessari was featured on NPR. The 81-year-old has been called one of the most influential artists of our time by Michael Govan, director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. 

Some of his work includes placing stickers over people's faces in photographs and covered floors at LACMA with a carpet of blue sky and puffy clouds. He even burned all of his paintings at one point.

Let me clarify: All I tried to do was re-link to the video that was dumped when Patch revised itsRead More format. The Festival of the Chariots won't be coming to Venice for months.

One year, long ago, Alice Coltrane performed. Anyone know the year? Definitely in the 70's.
