LAGUNA ART MUSEUM

“While Pollock Was Sleeping: Bay Area Abstract Expressionism from

the Blair Collection” runs through Oct. 2.

The Blair Collection provides a rich view of California Abstract

Expressionist painting from 1948 to 1964. The collection includes a

few easily recognizable names, but many of the works in the

exhibition are by lesser known artists who are equally significant to

the “Second Wave” of Abstract Expressionist painting.

“Surf Culture Redux” is on exhibit through Oct. 5. “Surf Culture

Redux” is a reconfiguration of the iconic works from the museum’s

most well-attended show in its history, “Surf Culture -- The Art

History of Surfing.” Laguna Art Museum, 307 Cliff Drive. For

information, call (949) 494-8971. o7www.lagunaartmuseum.org.f7
