LG Williams Pop-Up at The Hollywood Roosevelt Coincides with Frieze LA / Felix LA held in Los Angeles February 14-17, 2019. LG Williams Purple Diary November 18, 2012

LG Williams is pleased to announce an upcoming selection of artworks, many which have never been shown in Los Angeles before.

The event will highlight two works that were made while the artist was living in Los Angeles, embracing a wide spectrum of American high and low culture.

This pop-up will coincide with Frieze LA / Felix LA held in Los Angeles February 14-17, 2019.

American artist LG Williams and The Estate of LG Williams™ (b. 1969, Shell Knob, MO) is presenting two iconic works “I Can See The Whole Room…” (2011) and “Hollywood — Wall Street” (2013) that demand greater international attention and renown. A pioneering Neo-Semiotician, LG Williams employs raw, post-painterly gestures to create post-analytic imagery that carry intense emotional dislocation.

Featured Artworks: LG Williams, I Can See The Whole Room! And There’s No Art In It!, 2011, 48 x 48″, Vinyl And Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting On Heavy-Duty Aluminum; and LG Williams, Hollywood — Wall Street, 2013, 10 x 80″, Vinyl and Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting on Heavy-Duty Aluminum.

The Estate of LG Williams™ would like to extend warm gratitude to The Derazhne-Fridman Charitable Trust for their generous support.

LG Williams Participates During Desert X 2019
(Feb 9–Apr 21)⠀⠀⠀⠀

LG Williams and The Estate of LG Williams™ is participating during this year’s Desert X (Feb 9–Apr 21, 2019)

American artist LG Williams and The Estate of LG Williams™ (b. 1969, Shell Knob, MO) is presenting a site-specific project “For Sale: One Billion Three Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars — or 3 X Salvator Mundi” (2012/19), inspired by the perpetually changing real estate landscape in a state of constant flux, purchases, sales, foreclosures, bailouts, and reinvention.

“For Sale: One Billion Three Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars — or 3 X Salvator Mundi” meditates on the rapid changing face of money framed within a relic of our real estate landscape. This new era is increasingly uber-pricey and art-less, where human connection is evaporating and quickly being replaced by completely digital and random amounts of pseudo human connections, ie money…But, please, let’s not forget: the vestiges of the Cold War in our contemporary context, employing slogans from anywhere, where normally there would be advertisements, and cartographies of military expansion in the California desert — and the like.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Wayne Thiebaud Lectures on Art and Drawing

Wayne Thiebaud Lectures on Art and Drawing
Compiled by LG Williams
Introductory Essay by Gene Cooper
272 pages, PCP Press
1 edition (February 23, 2018)
ISBN-10: 1985865432
.
For four decades, the legendary painter Wayne Thiebaud taught, passionately, at the University of California Davis, until retiring aged 70. As a teacher, Thiebaud had introduced thousands of undergraduates to the delights of great art and art making. Thiebaud still refers to exercises he would assign his students when explaining the dynamics of his own works. Here, collected for the first time, are student records of Thiebaud’s famous lectures, which include Beginning Drawing, Descriptive Drawing, Life Drawing, Beginning Painting, Printmaking, and Theory and Criticism. These lecture notes are, apart from everything else, delightful and vibrant. They are concrete, efficient, not the wanderings of an imported academic star who takes class off early to get to the tennis courts.
