For the Record - May 2, 1990

Not an organizer--The Times reported incorrectly on April 24 that Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions was involved in the organization of “Modern Primitives,” a controversial art show that attracted the attention of Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) in the National Endowment for the Arts controversy. While at least three of the artists whose work was featured in “Modern Primitives” have performed or shown work at LACE or have strong ties to the organization, LACE itself was not an organizer of the show.
