LA Sports Arena, Architecture’s Odd Couple, Aaron Axelrod, Prince of Venice

Hosted by Frances Anderton Jul. 12, 2016
The LA Memorial Sports Arena is nearing demolition, and fans can bid to take a piece of it home. Historian Howard Hugh dishes on architects Philip Johnson and Frank Lloyd Wright’s “frenemy” relationship. Ayahuasca inspires Aaron Axelrod’s installation at Barnsdall Art Park. And an exiled Italian prince is making a splash in LA’s food truck scene.
