  1. L.A. schools falling apart, literally

    The dilapidated bleachers at Marshall High School in Silver Lake have been in such a sorry state for so long, I stopped noticing until recently, when I saw a grandfather teeter as he stepped over a sinkhole in the floorboards.

  3. Sicilian art coming to the Getty

    SICILY, Italy &mdash; Two years ago, the J. Paul Getty Museum ended a lengthy dispute with Italian cultural authorities by returning a towering limestone and marble statue of a Greek goddess to Sicily. The sculpture is now the pride of the relatively modest Museo Archeologico in Aidone &mdash; and by far its biggest attraction.

  4. Review: Petra Schilder invokes another era at Carter & Citizen

    Dutch artist Petra Schilder&rsquo;s exhibition at Carter &amp; Citizen revitalizes a mostly bygone way of life. In the intimate gallery, Schilder has painstakingly constructed a replica of a Dutch <em>smuiger</em>, or fireplace, out of hand-painted ceramic tiles. The tiles, which cover the wall from floor to ceiling, depict a farm landscape dotted with sheep. The hearth is flanked by two chairs holding piles of sheared wool in its raw state, and a chandelier loaded with lumpy brown candles hangs from the ceiling. The whole scene feels a bit like a diorama in a museum display, or an altar to an older way of life.

  5. Five picks from the Palm Springs Modernism Show

    For proof that Modernism still spins it magic, witness the crowds that descended upon the Palm Springs Modernism Show &amp; Sale last weekend. Though final attendance numbers wouldn't be available until after Modernism Week ends this Sunday, the design exhibition at the Palm Springs Convention Center did have 82 dealers, about 10 more than last year, and they ranged from elegantly spare midcentury furnishings and geometric paintings to ostentatious vintage jewelry and clothing. Among the highlights:

  6. Retail Boom: LA's shopping scene is picking up again

    As the postprandial fatigue of the Thanksgiving meal gives way to the adrenaline rush of the holiday shopping season, those hitting the streets are likely to notice a whole new crop of bricks-and-mortar stores that weren't there during the last candy-cane-colored, ornament-festooned romp through retail's winter wonderland.

  8. Come back to Pershing Square. Again. Please.

    Pity Pershing Square. It&rsquo;s been put through more makeovers than Joan Rivers, and the results haven&rsquo;t been nearly as presentable.
