Paul McCarthy: Head Space, Drawings 1963–2019 is the first comprehensive survey in the United States of drawings and works on paper by the Los Angeles-based Paul McCarthy (b. 1945, Salt Lake City), one of the most influential artists of his generation. Spanning more than five decades, the exhibition examines the significant role of drawing as it relates to McCarthy’s broader practice involving performance, video, photography, sculpture, and installation. Accompanied by the artist, Hammer curator Aram Moshayedi will lead a guided walk-through of the exhibition at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, February 14, 2020. Coffee and pastries will be served.
