ART

“Eva Hesse Spectres 1960” German-born artist Eva Hesse’s death in 1970 cut short a career that ascended to unprecedented heights for a female artist at that time. For “Eva Hesse Spectres 1960,” the Hammer brings together an ambitious series of early works from 1960, completed prior to the sculptural assemblages for which she would become best known. The small paintings, made when Hesse was 24, balance the psychologically fraught with the gestural, peopled with quasi-self-portraits and other alien forms. Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., L.A. Opens Sat. (310) 443-7000. https://www.hammer.ucla.edu

Autumn Lights L.A. The autumnal equinox signals the annual onset of longer nights and shorter days. To celebrate the newfound darkness, the multimedia event Autumn Lights L.A. will illuminate Pershing Square with light-based art, including projections, installations and performances. Local bands such as Killsonic and the SpaceShip Martini will also perform. Pershing Square, 532 S. Olive St., L.A. 7 p.m.-1 a.m. Free. (213) 247-8800. https://www.autumnlightsla.com
