On October 18, the Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles announced that longtime director Ann Philbin will retire from her post effective November 2024. During her 25-year tenure, Philbin led the Hammer’s evolution from a sleepy campus museum to a major destination for contemporary art in Southern California.
This past spring, RECORD spoke with Philbin and architect Michael Maltzan about a recently concluded series of major interventions at the Edward Larrabee Barnes–designed museum. Maltzan will discuss his work at the Hammer as a featured speaker at the forthcoming Los Angeles edition of Record on the Road. Presented as an editorial symposium with a focus on the changing cultural landscape of America’s second-most populous city, the event will be held November 13 at the Colburn School, itself undergoing a major transformation led by Frank Gehry, in Downtown L.A.
