Dorso's vast collection spans many decades, countries, and mediums. Like all great collectors, he collected what simply captured his heart and imagination. His collection speaks of not only the art, but of the people he interacted with, friends, art dealers, and artists. Last week while working with his collection for the upcoming YHBHS installation, I came across a sculpture, protected in a plexiglass glass box: inside, a torn paper bag revealing a "door." A portal to a new world of discovery, as his collection has been to me. This work is Untitled (torn bag) from 1971, by Jerry McMillan. Jerry McMillan is also part of Cherry Martin's restaging of curator Peter Bunnellʼs landmark 1970 exhibition, <a href="http://www.cherryandmartin.com/home">Photography into Sculpture.</a> "Described in the original wall text as “the first comprehensive survey of photographically formed images used in a sculptural or fully dimensional manner,” Photography into Sculpture brought together a cross-section of artists from across the United States and Canada. The show encapsulated the radical gestures of late 1960's photographic practice, both inside and outside the photo world. " Cherry Martin's programming is some of the best in this city, and this show is another example of their approach to contemporary + historical programming that is so needed, and so rare to find in a private gallery. It's a rocking time to be in L.A.

“Well, I’ll confess something. I like happy art. And you’ll notice most of the art is happy.” - Richard Dorso <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6091442441_52ae8a1d62_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6091442441_52ae8a1d62_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 467px;" /></a> image: Richard Dorso's Los Angeles home. Photography © Grant Mudford.</div> YHBHS & LAMA! For the next month, I'll be sharing lots of images, related interviews, & events regarding an interior space I have created for LAMA's next auction. The YHBHS exhibition space will be open to the public beginning September 19, until the day of the auction, October 9, 2011. The space is getting close to being installed, painted, wallpapered with <a href="http://kremelife.com/">KREME papers</a>, furniture selected, & all soon to be photographed! Please check it out in person if you are in Los Angeles. When Peter Loughrey, Director of LAMA, first showed me the photographs of Richard Dorso's L.A. home, I was immediately transported by his collection & the story his residence told about the forms and colors of 60s California art. I'm creating a temporary open space inspired by the geometrical, hard-edged works from Dorso's collection by Baldessari, McCracken, Ruscha, Arnoldi, and many other early California artists. Lots more to share in the next weeks. - David John "<a href="http://lamodern.com/">Los Angeles Modern Auctions</a> (LAMA) and You Have Been Here Sometime (YHBHS) will partner together to produce a special interior showcase for LAMA’s Pacific Standard Time exhibit Collecting in Los Angeles 1945 – 1980. This 3 week exhibit explores the collecting practices of Richard Dorso, a native Californian, who at age 101 left behind a unique art collection spanning much of the 20th century. The exhibit will conclude with an auction of the entire collection on October 9, 2011."
