"Pasadena: L.A.'s Art Legacy" Recovers History of International Art Capital

PASADENA, Calif. - June 5, 2026 - PRLog -- Despite Pasadena's large community of artists, art schools, and art museums that rival the finest institutions in America, what the broader Pasadena area has lacked over its history was a sustaining "gallery scene" that complimented the art exhibited in those institutions.

Pasadena: L.A.'s Art Legacy offers 70 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures by 60 artists from the gallery's holdings–all for sale. Each work in the exhibition is accompanied with a label noting the year that museums including the Pasadena Art Museum, the Norton Simon Museum, and the Huntington presented the artist.

Pasadena's remarkable artistic legacy is evidenced in this exhibition by the inclusion of works by Old Master, Modern, and Contemporary artists such as Piranesi, Goya, Daumier, Fantin-Latour, Bonnard, Degas, Paul Klee, George Grosz, Hans Burkhardt, Louise Nevelson, Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Robert Motherwell, Sam Francis, Claire Falkenstein, Ruth Weisberg, Patrick Graham, Ed Ruscha, Llyn Foulkes, George Herms, and many others.

In these times when art galleries increasingly focus on contemporary and emerging artists, Jack Rutberg Fine Arts is a singular presence offering contemporary art in such historic context.
