Seymour Rosen in San Jose, CAuntil May 19, 2017 Pioneering Los Angeles photographer Seymour Rosen (1935-2006) documented street scenes and popular culture from the 1960s onward and his work provides a portrait of mid-century Los Angeles in all its grandeur and grit. Rosen was one of the first people to seriously document outsider environments in California and was involved in the struggle to save the Watts Towers from destruction by the LA authorities. He founded SPACES – Saving and Preserving Arts and Cultural Environments, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the study and conservation of environments created by self-taught and non-mainstream artists and builders. This will be the only West Coast exhibition of the material which will be subsequently transferred to the Kohler Foundation in
