I got to preview the Baldessari show at the Legion and put a review up on my blog and at my web page at the Examiner. I love being an “official” journalist. Even if it’s for a paper like the Examiner, I get to see all sorts of art for free and get coffee as well. Baldessari is not the kind of artist that I normally care much about so it was a challenge to write about his work. But I enjoyed the challenge and hope that people will find my article interesting enough to go and see the show.
