Los Angeles is a city of dualities - sunshine and noir, coastline beaches and urban grit, natural beauty and suburban sprawl, the obvious and the hidden. Both Sides of Sunset reveals these dualities and more, in images by master photographers such as Bruce Davidson, Lee Friedlander, Daido Moriyama, Julius Shulman and Garry Winogrand, as well as many younger artists, among them Matthew Brandt, Katy Grannan, Alex Israel, Lise Sarfati and Ed Templeton. Taken together, these individual views by more than 130 artists form a collective vision of a place where myth and reality are often indistinguishable. Spinning off the highly acclaimed Looking at Los Angeles, Both Sides of Sunset presents an updated and equally unromantic vision of this complex metropolis. It showcases many of the artists featured in the original book - such as Lewis Baltz, Catherine Opie and Stephen Shore - but also incorporates new images that portray a city that is at once unhinged and driven by irrepressible exuberance.
