Coming Attraction: Collecting Collections

While I realize that none of the art pieces from MOCA's upcoming "Collecting Collections" exhibit come from one of my favorite exhibits in recent years ("WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution"), I know they'll have plenty of great pieces to show off, especially with the competing BCAM $56-million gallery opening across town at LACMA.

Here's a photomontage from "Wack!":

Please be sure to read today's review in the Daily Forty-Niner on the retiring exhibit at MOCA Contemporary, © MURAKAMI, by clicking here. (It's writer Steven Sabetti's observation on Takashi Murakami's wearable, and rather ostentatious, art.)

What's been your favorite exhibit at MOCA?
