Artistic production in LA was and is certainly also influenced by the international currents that have shaped and are shaping other American art capitals like New York. But art on the West Coast has also bred and nurtured indigenous styles that have emerged on the international art scene.

Among the artists included are Chris Burden, Richard Diebenkorn, David Hockney, Dennis Hopper, Mike Kelley, Raymond Pettibon, Lari Pittman and Alexis Smith.
