Craft Contemporary celebrates a legacy of creativity

Craft Contemporary will host its 2025 Benefit & Art Auction on May 10 at the museum in Los Angeles, honoring founder Edith R. Wyle (1918–1999) and contemporary artist Bari Ziperstein. Wyle, who opened the Egg & The Eye in 1965—a hybrid gallery and omelet restaurant—will receive the Legacy Award, while Ziperstein, known for ceramics exploring consumerism and propaganda, will receive the Visionary Award. The sold-out dinner is followed by a 1960s-themed afterparty with cocktails, music, a puppet show, and a drag performance.

Gary Baseman fills iconic L.A. coffee shop with charming drawings on real restaurant menus

Artist Gary Baseman has opened his first hometown solo show in over a decade, titled “Off the Menu,” inside the long-shuttered Johnie’s Coffee Shop on Wilshire and Fairfax in Los Angeles. The exhibition features about 40 colored pencil drawings, mostly executed on real menus from iconic L.A. restaurants such as Musso & Frank, Canter’s Deli, and Genghis Cohen, as well as newer spots like Jon & Vinny’s. The whimsical show, which launched in conjunction with the opening of the Wilshire and Fairfax subway station, runs through June 14 and celebrates the dining culture and community of the Fairfax neighborhood.
