HOL Artists & Young Professionals Field trip to the Huntington Library

Join us on a trip to the Huntington Library to tour the work of the world renowned furniture designer and woodworker of lebanese descent Sam Maloof (1916–2009) and the art made by 35 members of his circle of friends.

Sam Maloof in his workshop, circa 1960.Maloof’s work has been given to American presidents, collected by celebrities, and admired by art connoisseurs far and wide. It also has been the subject of major exhibitions across the country, but this will be the first to closely examine Maloof’s contribution to the development of art in Southern California.

The exhibition is part of “Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945–1980,” an unprecedented collaboration initiated by the Getty that brings together more than 60 cultural institutions from across Southern California to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.
