Omschrijving

When fine dining met fine art, a new Los Angeles was born.

Between 1979 and 1987, the city witnessed two cultural breakthroughs that seemed unrelated. A wave of bold, design-forward restaurants helped launch the nationwide "New American" movement, serving innovative cuisine in sleek, modern spaces adorned with contemporary art. At the same time, Los Angeles celebrated a milestone: the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), its first major museum devoted solely to contemporary art--an institution long missing from a city with global ambitions.

Though often told separately, these stories are deeply intertwined. In this lively, revelatory book, Alison Pearlman uncovers how restaurants became galleries as well as vital crossroads for the chefs, artists, collectors, architects, and civic leaders who reshaped L.A.'s cultural identity. Together, they revived hopes that L.A. could reclaim the creative energy of its 1960s heyday and join the ranks of the world's cultural capitals.

Drawing on extensive interviews with those who built this transformative era, Pearlman shows how L.A.--through distinctive architecture, daring personalities, and unconventional collaborations--created a cultural moment with national impact. Vivid, engaging, and richly researched, this book brings to life a heady period in the city's history.

A must-read for lovers of art, food, and the vibrant alchemy that emerges when creative worlds collide.
