Finally receiving the recognition he so richly deserves,
Gary Baseman will be the focus of an upcoming major museum exhibition entitled "The Door is Always Open." A massive retrospective of the artist's career, supported by a huge itinerary of associated events (some of which can be viewed
HERE), our eye was most captivated by some of the merchandise being released… First and foremost,
Gary Baseman: The Door Is Always Open— a 200-page full-color hardcover monograph for $45 — which includes introductions to chapters by Baseman as well as essays by notables. Also, an exclusive, limited-edition line of Baseman-at-the-Skirball merchandise will be available only at
Audrey’s Museum Store, such as Baseman art supplies, an exclusive new Poketo wallet, temporary tattoos, jewelry, keychain charms, and more.
"The Door is Always Open" will open on April 25th with a reception from 7:30-11PM Pacific time and the exhibition will be on display until August 18th, 2013 at the
Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90049.
