Today and tomorrow are the last days of "Lyrical Cool: A Tribute to Shirley Berman" at the Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. I'm very happy with this exhibition, and I love the catalog that comes with the show. One can obtain the catalog either at the gallery or on their website: https://www.kohngallery.com/shop/lyrical-cool-a-tribute-to-shirley-berman
