SANTA MONICA, CA.- On February 15th, 1960, Billy Al Bengston opened a show of “Valentine” paintings at the Ferus Gallery on La Cienega Blvd. To mark this historic anniversary, the Samuel Freeman Gallery has rebuilt the Ferus Gallery to scale within its walls at Bergamot Station and reinstalled many of the original paintings. The keystone, “Big Hollywood”, hangs where it did half a century ago. Watercolors and oils from 1959 fill the space, compressed within the 15 x 27 gallery. In the chapel the gallery recreated Billy’s 1970 show at the Mizuno Gallery. Bengston’s seminal and gorgeous “Dentos” line the room, lit solely by candlelight. The flickering light bounces off the bent and polished surfaces of eight works from 1968-69. The remains of the main gallery have been carpeted, furnished (with thanks to Frank Gehry) and comfortably hung
