Armand Hammer Museum

This week I went to the Hammer Museum again on my Tuesday day off. Made in LA 2025 still was current, but Five Centuries of Works on Paper had opened since my visit on Tuesday 21 October, so going especially to see it sounded like a good plan.

I started with lunch in Westwood at Sweet Fin. My Chicken Bowl included forbidden rice, eggplant, cucumbers, onions, carrots, asparagus, tomatoes, jicama, avocado, mango, cabbage, two different creamy dressings… So good with a glass of Guava Lemonade!

My October Hammer blog didn't picture the paintings Alonzo Davis created for the 1984 Summer Olympics. You need to read the Wikipedia article about Davis. He believed, he knew, almost everyone has a heart for art, but his heart was especially in public art because not many often even think of going to a museum or taking an art appreciation class.

Five Centuries of Works on Paper was artfully curated and displayed, but I didn't take any pictures. It deserves another visit before the exhibit ends.

• Greenery and succulents. Hammer plants are so special!

• At the end of the day I got a Hazelnut frappe at Boba Time on Olympic Blvd that originally was Tenth / 10th Street. I ordered a regular, but for some reason I got a supersize.
