SUMMARY:Arcana Book Signing with Ave Pildas
DESCRIPTION:Please join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, July 25 between 4:00 and 6:00 PM as they host a book signing with iconic Los Angeles photographer Ave Pildas to celebrate the arrival of the first title from the Pildas / Green Foundation\, Africatown – Sunday Market: Leimert Park\, Los Angeles. Arcana has known Ave and his  work for decades\, and are excited to share his latest essay on the vibrant neighborhood of Leimert Park. \n“More than just a collection of photographs\, Africatown serves as both a tribute and a resource\, documenting a community while also supporting the people who make it up. Many of the vendors featured have used the images to promote their businesses\, reinforcing the project‘s collaborative spirit.” \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a signed copy of Africatown\, please place your order below. \nBorn and raised in Cincinnati\, Ave Pildas worked early in his career as a photo stringer for Downbeat magazine in the 1960s\, and has been a successful photographer and educator for the past forty years. In 1971 Pildas became the Art Director at Capitol Records in Hollywood\, designing and photographing album covers for the label. \nSoon after he launched a career as a freelance photographer and designer specializing in architectural and corporate photography. His photographs have been exhibited in one-man shows at the Contemporary Arts Center\, Cincinnati; Photographers Gallery\, London;  Janus Gallery\, Los Angeles; Gallerie Diaframma\, Milan; Cannon Gallery\, Amsterdam; Gallerie 38\, Zurich; and numerous group shows. Photographs by Ave Pildas are included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, Bibliotheca National\, Paris\, University of Arizona as well as numerous other public and private collections. He is a Professor Emeritus at Otis College of Design. \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			PURCHASE A COPY OF THE BOOK
