Louis Stern:

"Karl Benjamin has always been a brilliant artist, a legend among Southern California peers, collectors, students, teachers and curators alike.

With the launch of the Getty initiative "Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA. 1945-1980," Karl and other major players in the LA art scene will be featured nationally and internationally and i fully expect Karl´s fan base to explode."

"Good things come to those who wait, or so the saying goes. I believe that the wait is over for Karl Benjamin and "good things" are finally truly here.

This catalogue, spanning Benjamin´s almost fifty year career, celebrates the scope, power and sheer beauty of his œuvre. It seems remarkable that given his art-making discipline, he should only just now be getting his due. Karl´s work has long been beloved by those of us who were aware of the past half-century´s groundbreaking Southern California art scene."
