Go See: L.A.’s “Women in the City” backed by Broad Art, Pinault Foundation

January 29th, 2008

Starting February 9, Emi Fontana’s lastest show takes art out of the galleries and into the city, displaying the breakthrough work of female artists including Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler and Cindy Sherman in more than fifty public locations throughout Los Angeles.

These artists boldly question the representation of women in contemporary society from billboards, theatres, and posters stylized after popular advertising and movies. This cultural event (we believe “exhibit” would be a misnomer for such a big production) marks the debut of West of Rome, Fontana’s nonprofit arts organization.
