The Norton Simon Museum presents Proof: The Rise of Printmaking in Southern California, an exhibition that explores the significance of printmaking and its new possibilities as first re-envisioned in Southern California in the mid-20th century.

Drawing from the Museum’s extensive print collection and a few select loans, the exhibition includes approximately 150 prints, portfolios and multiples, including works by the local founders of the movement, such as John Altoon, Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis, Ed Moses, Ken Price, Ed Ruscha and June Wayne. Proof also includes works by a significant number of artists who traveled west to print specifically in Los Angeles, such as Josef Albers, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg and Robert Rauschenberg.

Hours:
Wed-Mon 12:00-6:00 p.m.
Open until 9 p.m. on Fridays
