Join exhibition curator Dennis Reed for an exclusive gallery tour entitled “Tender Views, Modern Expressions.”

Reed will provide an overview of Making Waves while focusing on the photographers who worked in Los Angeles, several of whom he knew personally. He will discuss the character of their work, which ranged from gentle scenes of lily pads to progressively modern abstractions, and their wide influence. Reed will also touch on photographs not included in the exhibition.

Limited to 25 members. RSVP to memberevents@janm.org or 213.830.5646.
