11 a.m.–8 p.m. Tues.-Fri., 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Sat.-Sun. Sept. 29-Jan. 5. The Hammer is presenting the most comprehensive retrospective to date of the work of the L.A.-born and based artist Lari Pittman. The exhibit also marks the first time the museum has ever devoted all of its all of its major exhibition spaces to a single living artist. On display are approximately 80 paintings and 50 works on paper that showcase Pittman’s highly detailed works on panel and paper featuring his rich visual language that often utilizes owls, Victorian silhouettes, flying text, and exaggerated bodies. Some of Pittman’s paintings do deal with some sexual or violent subject matter but are so densely layered that it is not immediately evident; however, parental discretion is advised.
