Prior to the opening of The Ferus Gallery in 1957 it was virtually impossible to see contemporary art in Los Angeles. The city was a notoriously conservative cultural backwater at the time. Everything changed, however, when medical school drop-out Walter Hopps and artist Ed Kienholz joined forces to open the first avant-garde gallery in Los Angeles devoted to supporting work by young L.A. artists. "A Place to Begin" is an illustrated oral history of this exemplary enterprise. With 62 new interviews with Ferus artists and over 300 photographs (most previously unpublished) plus a DVD documentary, it retrieves a lost chapter of twentieth-century American art.
