One of the most significant exhibitions of Arshile Gorky’s work will begin Sunday June 6 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, which presents Arshile Gorky: A Retrospective through September 20 at MOCA Grand Avenue.

This major traveling retrospective celebrates the extraordinary life and work of Gorky, a seminal figure in the movement toward abstraction that transformed American art in the middle of the 20th century.

The first full-scale survey of Gorky’s art since 1981, this exhibition includes more than 120 works spanning the artist’s 25-year career, Asbarez.com reported.
