For its housewarming, The Brick is holding the Sekula/Stein Garage Sale. Sally Stein, widow of the late, great artist Allan Sekula (d. 2013) is moving to New York. She has generously donated to The Brick their home library along with all manner of charming bric-a-brac that was the stuff of their lives- mementos from travels, Hasselblad slide projectors and lots and lots of Sekuliana.

In their respective roles as art historian and artist, Sally and Allan were recognized internationally for their critical engagement with the field of documentary photography. They enjoyed the same standing in their hometown of Los Angeles where their practices served as a paragon of integrity and rigor. Their interests in struggles of all stripes was hopelessly global. That combined with their knowledge of photography makes this collection of over 3,000 books notable at one and the same time for its breadth and specificity.

Come sit, sift, peruse and haggle, all the while checking out our new digs.  

Opening event on Sunday, June 23rd from 2-6pm. Free, all welcome.
Cash and cards accepted.
All proceeds benefit The Brick.
Light refreshments will be served courtesy of The O’Reilly Company.

This exhibition is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
