On the Edge: Los Angeles Art 1970s – 1990s from the Joan and Jack Quinn Family Collection

Presented by Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) at Armenian Library and Museum of America

This exhibition highlights the couple’s collection primarily amassed from the 1970s to 1990s, a period rich in significance and defined by a unique spirit of anti-conformity, a play of new materials and a celebration of light and the California cool ethos. Much of the work was collected directly from the artists and has never changed hands or been shown publicly. Works in the exhibition will explore themes such as Ferus Group “Cool School,” Light and Space, Minimalism, Chicano Art, Pop Art, and international artists and influences.

“Discovering Takouhi: Portraits of Joan Agajanian Quinn,” a companion exhibition to “On the Edge: Los Angeles Art 1970s – 1990s from the Jack and Joan Quinn Family Collection,” includes Armenian artists such as Dahlia Elsayed, Jean Kazandjian, Silvina Der Meguerditchian, Ara Oshagan, Zaven Sarkissian, and Aram Saroyan. Curated by Gina Grigorian and Natalie Varbedian.
