‘Richard Artschwager!’ at UCLA Hammer Museum

Richard Artschwager, who died in February at 89, was that exceedingly rare artist who made paintings and sculptures of virtually equal merit. ‘Richard Artschwager!’ at the Hammer confirms that the artist’s best work induces what artist Ed Ruscha has helpfully described as the “Huh? Wow!” sequence of response, rather than the dispiriting “Wow! Huh?” For art, there’s nothing better than that. UCLA Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd. Through Sept. 1. Closed Monday. https://www.hammer.ucla.edu.
