Combing the Hair (Beach) (2015) is on view as part of the exhibition Cecily Brown: Rehearsal at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara through June 3, 2018.

Part of a series of blog post interviews with Hammer Museum staff members.

An interview about Chinese opera with Susan Pertel Jain, the executive director of the UCLA Confucius Institute.

It is rather fitting that Paul Gauguin's works circulate around the world, their movements bringing a degree of continuity to the artist’s own restless movement and globe-trotting tendencies.

We are extremely grateful to all the Hammer Museum supporters whose gifts of art bolster our permanent collection, and we look forward to exhibiting these and other works in the near future.
