About This Lot
Danny Lyon is an Influential documentary photographer and filmmaker who developed the “New Journalism” style in the 1960s. This highly personal form requires total immersion into the lives of the artist’s chosen subjects, bypassing objectivity for deeper understanding. The present work is from Lyon’s landmark series,
The Bikeriders. To create this series, Lyon spent four years on the road with the motorcycle club The Chicago Outlaws. Shooting with a telephoto lens through the windshield of a Volkswagen Beetle, Lyon focused on the roles, costumes, customs, and gesture of the bikers, glorifying their culture by examining its specificity.

The History of California (1976-84). Better known as
The Great Wall of Los Angeles, the monumental half-mile-long work in the San Fernando Valley traces the history of California from prehistoric times to the mid-1900s, encompassing the displacement of indigenous communities (pictured above), the internment of Japanese Americans during the Second World War and the civil rights movement. The archive of drawings, blueprints, notes and correspondence documents Baca’s artistic practice and her partnerships with scholars, artists, community leaders and young people during the making of the mural. It complements other works in the Lucas collection that will
