TGHS Auction is open and we are highlighting auction items for the book lovers!

Explore "Wrapped in Glory", written by the curator in conjunction with the pioneering 1990 LACMA exhibition of rare and exquisite quilts, this lavishly illustrated book is filled with details about materials, patterns, and techniques, as well as fascinating historical context.

The streetlight was public art before we had a name for it. In "Electric Moons", India Mandelkern examines the art and politics of street lighting in Los Angeles from the 1880s to the present day. Just between you and me and the lamppost – this is a great read!
