Four Elements

The Arensbergs’ Hollywood House-Museum

Tuesday, December 15
6:00 – 7:30 p.m.

As a valued member of our community, we invite you to join us for this year’s annual Arcadia Library Lecture, The Arensbergs’ Hollywood House-Museum.  

Many of the most famous pieces of modern European and pre-Columbian art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art came from the collection of Louise and Walter Arensberg. A new book, Hollywood Arensberg: Avant-Garde Collecting in Midcentury L.A., offers a room-by-room tour using historic photographs and archival materials. The museum is excited to host authors Mark Nelson, William H. Sherman, and Ellen Hoobler for a virtual discussion with Matthew Affron, the museum’s Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art.

Register here for this program.

Once you register, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to the program. Registration must be completed in advance of the program.
