CNN —Both a source of inspiration and a place to ground herself, Harlem holds a special meaning for the artist Tschabalala Self. Tschabalala Self Paula Virta/Courtesy the artist/EMMA -- Espoo Museum of Modern ArtSelf’s own relationship with the concept of home has evolved in recent years. This conversation with the traditional western canon of painting is ongoing for Self, and influences other facets of her work. In thinking about the concept for “Lady in Blue,” Self considered the increased attention on monuments, particularly in recent years. But the commission also represents much more than the sculpture’s identity or physicality alone, added the artist.

During Art Basel Miami next month, St. Fleur said that he intended to visit the art fairs with former N.B.A. players like Deron Williams, Courtney Lee and Amar’e Stoudemire, and that he was arranging a private dinner for some of his athlete clients at a collector’s home on Star Island. There are other signs that the influence of athletes who collect art has been growing in recent years. He served on the board of advisers of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and now serves on the board of the Hirshhorn in Washington. “I wanted to think outside the box and give our players #athletes an opportunity to engage with ART done by African American Artists and respond to the cultural richness of these artists, as well as draw their own interpretation of the works.”

Installation view Photo: Hammer Museum/Charles WhiteAlthough curator Diana Nawi says in the excellent catalog for “Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living” that it’s simply not “possible to be comprehensive in surveying the city,” and only 10 of the 39 artists (including two collectives) in the exhibition are Latino, the show has—to its advantage, actually—a distinct Hispanic flavor.

With the help of an outside search firm, the Hammer board will choose a successor that it will then propose to the University of California, Los Angeles, which took over the management of the museum after Hammer’s death. In a period of heightened awareness about the scarcity of Black and Latino museum directors, Marcy Carsey, the Hammer’s chairwoman, said that the search would include a diverse pool of candidates. “The Hammer is Annie and Annie is the Hammer,” she said. “It made me think about how short life is, but also think about what’s best for this institution,” she said. “There is a generational shift happening — it’s a really important moment — and it’s time for the next person to come into this place and take it to the next level.”

A decade ago, priced out of renting an apartment and studio in Los Angeles, the artist Dominique Moody built a steel-clad, wood structure on a 20-foot flatbed trailer. It was an experiment in making a small, mobile abode before the tiny home trend took off. Steeped in assemblage, the process of making art from found or scavenged objects, Moody, 66, fashioned her home out of reclaimed materials where others would have gone straight to Home Depot. Starting Oct. 1, the Nomad will be parked outside the Hammer Museum as part of the sixth edition of “Made in L.A.,” a biennial spotlighting emerging and underrecognized artists living in Los Angeles. And it serves as a teaser for what’s inside, as this year’s exhibition is not just made in Los Angeles, but to an extraordinary degree made of it, with objects scavenged from the city streets — ranging from palm fronds to broken car parts — showing up in many of the works.

In the midst of this upheaval, young artists pursued radical projects. They had been born during the Japanese occupation and lived through the Korean War; some looked to the past, taking inspiration from Korean folk forms. They forged collectives, holding shows, translating art texts from abroad (travel was restricted) and staging performances along rivers and in theaters. Their genre-defying efforts have come to be categorized as “silheom misul,” experimental art. (Organized with Kang Soojung, a senior curator at Seoul’s National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, or MMCA, the show travels to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles on Feb.

I know you’re going to hate me for leaving out your favorite place, but Los Angeles is huge. There’s no way to cover its vastness in a weekend — or without a car — but it’s possible to capture its romance by avoiding the 405-10 interchange and sticking to one part of town each day. In this guide, we go west to east and loop back to the middle. Locals know the best spots are hiding in plain sight, and an appreciation for beloved classics and an openness to all that’s new define the City of Angels. Well, that and embracing the drives.

Quintana eventually pulled through, but died in 2005 at 39, a few months before Ms. Didion’s 2005 book, “The Year of Magical Thinking,” was published. In the book, Ms. Didion wrote about the heartbreak and challenges of that era of her life: “I learned to find equal meaning in the repeated rituals of domestic life. Following Ms. Didion’s passing, Ms. Smith, an artist and singer known as the “godmother of punk,” posted a tribute on Instagram, articulating what many felt.
