Bob Baker Marionette Theater: 60 Years of Joy & Wonder
Forest Lawn Museum, opening October 20

60 Years of Joy and Wonder is a retrospective exhibition that pulls back the curtain on the whimsical Bob Baker Marionette Theater, featuring puppets and artwork by Baker and his collaborators, as well as an animatronic band.

Beatrice Wood: Drawings, Prints, Ceramics
L.A. Louver through October 29

Known as the “Mama of Dada,” Wood’s work encompassed early Dada and Art Deco-style drawings and prints, as well as ceramics, which she devoted herself to for the second half of her life. This exhibition captures the breadth of her idiosyncratic oeuvre.

Lily van der Stokker: What is it
Parker Gallery through October 29

Since the 1980s, she has been exploring organic forms, bright colors, and text fragments in works that keep one guessing. She revisits and remakes several of her drawings originally created in the 1990s in What Is it.
