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.
