'The House That Sam Built'

An exhibit featuring the works of Sam Maloof opened in the Huntington Library this past weekend. "The House That Sam Built: Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley 1945-1985" is on display through Jan. 30, 2012 at the San Marino library and gardens.

The exhibit features more than 30 pieces of Maloof's work in addition to approximately 80 pieces from his friends including painters Millard Sheets and Karl Benjamin. The Los Angeles Times interviewed the curator of the show in an article this past weekend.

"The House That Sam Built" is part of Pacific Standard Time, a collaboration of Southern California cultural institutions with a goal to tell the story of the Los Angeles art scene.
