'The heyday of L.A. assemblage'
'L.A. Object and David Hammons Body Prints," at the Roberts & Tilton Gallery is an anomaly in this languid season -- a group show with substance, devoted not to what's hip now but to an underexposed vein of Los Angeles art history: 1960s and '70s assemblage. Curated by gallery co-owner Jack Tilton (it first appeared at his New York space, the Tilton Gallery, last fall), the show seems to have been a labor of love, with most of the nearly 50 works culled from private collections.
It's a museum-worth endeavor.
