(by Mat Gleason | October 8, 2022 ) When asked, I tell people, mostly visitors to LA, that the Norton Simon Museum has by far the best collection in Southern California if not the West Coast.

A walk through Made in California, and one feels instantly a bit more LA. Works by Ed Ruscha and John Baldessari are amongst the show’s more prominent pieces.
