Christopher Knight, art critic at the Los Angeles Times, has reviewed “Particles and Waves: Southern California Abstraction and Science, 1945-1990” at the Palm Springs Art Museum. The exhibition is curated by Sharrissa Iqbal, Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Palm Springs Art Museum, and guest curator Michael Duncan.
Helen Lundeberg’s Among the Planets, 1961, Planet Rising, 1967, and Untitled (Sectioned Planet), 1969, are included in the exhibition. The exhibition is comprised of abstract artworks by artists who worked in Southern California alongside burgeoning technologies emerging from Mount Wilson Observatory, the Jet Propulsion Labs in Pasadena and Cal Tech.
Of the three Lundeberg paintings in the exhibition, Knight states “these exceptional abstract paintings fully unshackle imagination.” The entire review can be read on the LA Times website: latimes.com
