UC Irvine's Langson Institute & Museum of California Art has acquired a poured-resin painting by Helen Pashgian, S+T (1984). Created from layers of plastic, it hovers between painting, photography, and sculpture. A gift of Huddle Ryland Behrens and Amy Behrens, S+T becomes the sixth work by Pashgian in the IMCA collection.
Also new to the collection are paintings by Edgar Payne, Ed Moses, and Jay Lynn Gomez.

Comments
The UC Irvine Museum is off the beaten path from a lot of that, so what happens there generally tends to stay there.
Further north, in regards to the upcoming Lucas Museum ("narrative," non-abstract, "treacle"), I'm interested in the way it will or won't be affected by the same thing too.
As for people's artistic/creative skills, the Lucas will have a neighbor that represents people's technical/scientific skills.
