Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery

Pacific Standard Time was a collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, coming together for six months beginning in October 2011, to tell the story of the birth of the Los Angeles art scene and how it became a major new force in the art world.

The Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College was pleased to have been chosen to be an integral participant in the Getty Pacific Standard Time initiative. In addition to our participation in the initiative, many pieces from our extensive collection were on view at a variety of the exhibitions connected with Pacific Standard Time.

As a participant in the largest collaborative art exhibit ever undertaken in Southern California, the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery of Scripps College presented Clay’s Tectonic Shift: John Mason, Ken Price, and Peter Voulkos, 1956–1968 from January 21 through April 8, 2012.
