Santa Monica celebrates 20 years

Michael Asher’s installation, opening Jan. 26 at the Santa Monica Museum of Art , will dig into the institution’s past with a skeletal structure of walls used in temporary exhibitions since the museum’s 1998 move to Bergamot Station, but it won’t bring back any of the artworks. For those who want a reminder of those exhibitions and others presented throughout the museum’s 20-year history, here’s a visual sampling of some the works, including Liza Lou’s “Back Yard” (detail), from a 1998 exhibition.
