Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition celebrating the years of the pioneering Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles (1957-1967). Organized by Irving Blum, the exhibition brings together historical examples of the artists fostered and represented by Ferus during this decade.
During the 1960s, under the direction of Irving Blum, Ferus became one of the most significant galleries on the West Coast. This exhibition will feature twenty-two of the Ferus artists, with many works on loan from international museums and private collections. Some of the highlights of the exhibition will include Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Ed Ruscha's Los Angeles County Museum on Fire from the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC and Ed Kienholz's Walter Hopps, Hopps, Hopps from the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas.
