An Evening with Michael Govan

Moderated by Ann Philbin, Director of the Hammer Museum

43-year-old Michael Govan recently completed his first year as director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He visits Zócalo to chat about his meteoric rise through the art world, his dreams of turning L.A. into the new cultural capitol of the U.S., and the things this city must do to help us get there. Ann Philbin, who has been widely credited with turning the Hammer Museum around, will quiz Govan about everything from Jeff Koons, his take on the L.A. art scene, and why he thinks Los Angeles is the most beautifully named city in the world. She may even get him to gossip about Eli Broad.
