Karl Benjamin and the Evolution of Abstraction, 1950-1980 is on view at Louis Stern Fine Arts, Los Angeles, on view through December 24, 2011.  (See David Pagel's L.A. Times review here).

In this 2008 interview with painter Julie Karabenick, Benjamin reflected on his long career noting that "My development is not characterized by one thing building directly upon another. I have a number of recurrent motifs that seem to appear once every decade or so."
