Looking at L.A.

CoverBen Stiller was on KCRW's Design and Architecture this afternoon, talking with Frances Anderton about the city and the new book he co-edited, Looking at Los Angeles. The audio should be archived on the show's website shortly. The book — co-edited by Stiller and New York photography curator Marla Hamburg Kennedy, with an essay by David L. Ulin — contains more than two hundred images of Los Angeles by Julius Shulman, Diane Arbus, David Hockney, Catherine Opie, Tim Street-Porter, Andy Warhol and others. On Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Cinerama Dome, Ulin will give a slide show from the book at the Los Angeles Conservancy annual meeting. A panel discussion will follow, moderated by Tim Wride, former associate curator of the Photography Department at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and including Shulman, Opie, Kennedy, gallery owner Craig Krull, and the Conservancy’s executive director, Linda Dishman.
