Climate Change / Midcentury Modern La Jolla

Climate Change: Midcentury Modern La Jolla was curated by Dave Hampton. It explores 1950s and 1960s La Jolla modern architecture, objects, furnishings and art that were exhibited in the community’s museums and galleries, offered locally in retail outlets, or created by local residents.

The Matheny print above was made and exhibited in 1965 at the Nexus Gallery. The gallery/bookstore, owned by Laurence McGilvery, was located in the Wisteria Cottage-- the very place the Climate Change exhibition is being held.  The 1965 exhibition at the Nexus Gallery ran concurrently with Matheny’s exhibition of sculpture held at the neighboring La Jolla Museum of Art.
