The Mohn Art Collective (MAC3), a partnership of the Hammer, LACMA, and MOCA, has bought two artworks at Frieze Los Angeles. Edgar Arceneaux's Skinning the Mirror (Summer 1) and Shaniqwa Jarvis' Slowly, Surely were purchased for the three museums with "a dedicated fund of $75,000 donated by Jarl and Pamela Mohn and Frieze."
The Arceneaux is made of acrylic and mirror silver on canvas and measures 10 ft. across. The Jarvis is a digital print on silk and satin.
The Mohn Art Collective was begun with the Mohns' 260-piece collection and 80 works from the Hammer Contemporary collection. When announced last summer, the collective was said to have a $15 to $20 million endowment to allow ongoing acquisitions.

I don't quite understand it. Are there 3 separate screen prints, of identical imagery, but each smaller in height, each hung on a rod, one in the foreground, another in the middle ground and the third in the background? Clever.
It's hallucinatory.
Good get.
Frieze was dull.
