Warpaint are fairly popular in England, where they often appear in music polls and on magazine covers, but the quartet got their start here in L.A.. No matter.

Richard Heller Gallery : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 26

Some of the collaged-together paintings in Devon Troy Strother's show "Look at all my shit," on view at Richard Heller Gallery, have mouthfuls for titles.

Vintage Fashion Expo

Los Angeles Convention Center : October 12; October 13

As tempting as it is to don a Halloween costume that reflects popular culture -- an orange-faced John Boehner, a green-egged Ted Cruz or a twerking Mylie -- why not make an effort to stand apart from the undulating asses?

The Beyond Eden art fair began in 2008 as East of Eden.

James Turrell: A Retrospective

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until April 6

It's up for debate whether James Turrell is a sculptor, painter, architect, Light and Space artist or earthwork artist. We vote for all of the above, and more. But however you cast your ballot, you can't help but be a fan of Turrell's transcendent Skyspaces -- specially built rooms (and... More >>

The Fifth Anniversary Group Exhibition

Offramp Gallery : Every Fri., Sat., Sun. until October 13

John Van Hamersveld: Drawing Attention

Cal State Northridge Art Galleries : Every Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 26

Of all the factors propelling the cultural revolution of the 1960s, you could argue that none was more pervasive and profound than the music -- and integral to its appeal was the visuals that went with it. The psychedelic avant-garde in the era's iconic album covers, posters and magazine... More >>

David Kordansky Gallery : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 26

From the late 1950s through the '70s, John Mason made monuments that sometimes riffed on the prehistoric, like his 1957 ceramic Vertical Spear form.

LAXART : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 19

When designer Halston partnered with JC Penney early in the 1980s, it was something of a first: a couture name making clothes for the masses. The ads for the match all said, "You're Looking Smarter Than Ever." One showed a lady in bold pink pantyhose, a matching pink dress and white hat... More >>

Levitated Mass

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun.

Just when you thought you'd figured out what art really is, Levitated Mass by Michael Heizer is where modern art and the Protestant work ethic weirdly intersect, which is to say that a 340-ton granite megalith painstakingly transported over two weeks from Riverside sits in a 456-foot-long slot,...

Shaping Power: Luba Masterworks From the Royal Museum for Central Africa

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until January 5

The word "power" often connotes bigness -- the tallest buildings, the strongest weapons, the deepest bank accounts. So the smallness of the emblems in "Shaping Power," the debut exhibition in LACMA's newly opened African Art galleries, is striking. The show consists largely of exquisitely... More >>

Ivan Morley

Richard Telles Fine Art : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 12

Ivan Morley's A True Tale paintings were painted onto cracked glass, then peeled off and affixed to aluminum, but it might not matter much whether you know this or not.
