Gallery Luisotti is pleased to present 1911 Sunset Boulevard, an exhibition of works by six contemporary artists made in response to the former Taix French Restaurant in Echo Park. Comprising photographs, altered photographic works, and a single painting, the exhibition follows Taix through its final months, its closing night, and the landscape left by its demolition.

For more than sixty years, Taix occupied a singular place on Sunset Boulevard. Its dining rooms, banquet halls, lounges, murals, and upholstered booths formed an interior world at once theatrical and familiar, too large and layered to take in whole. Private dinners gave way to performances, parties, meetings, and nights that continued long after anyone had stopped ordering.
