My reply: Thanks for linking to my blog post. All notes about the article are correct. My previous comment to another reader questioning the location explains the history, giving links. The photo was taken in 1963 at what was then called the Pasadena Art Museum. Ten years later Norton Simon assumed control of the Pasadena Art Museum, changing the name to his own, and installing his European and Asian art collection in the plant, which he also expanded. The Pasadena Museum of Art of California opened its doors in 2002, almost forty years later.

This event which featured Eve Babitz and Marcel Duchamp predates Norton Simon's aassuming control of the Pasadena Art Museum in 1974 by ten years. Simon added PAM's art to his collection of European and Asian art and changed the museums's name as well. Thanks for recognizing the art and the building, Ed. Not knowing much about California museums, I learned more about the history of the institutions.

It looks to my novice eye like the Norton Simon, plus the Pasadena focuses on California art. And, if I'm not mistaken, the mobile on display in the middle of the photograph is part of the Norton Simon's collection. Are you certain that’s the Pasadena Museum, and not the Norton Simon Museum?
