Rode Uber Pool to breakfast at Blue Cube: breakfast sandwich, which was disappointing because (a) it was American cheese, and (b) it wasn't even a whole egg—just a thin layer of egg white. Visited City Hall observation deck and rotunda, Grand Park, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, DWE, WDCH, Concert Hall Cafe: parsnip and potato soup, half roast beef and bleu cheese sandwich, honest iced tea. Rode Uber Pool to LACMA, dozing briefly along the way. LACMA ($25 includes Picasso special exhibit): John McLaughlin Paintings: Total Abstraction, Picasso and Rivera: Conversations Across Time, Richard Serra: Band, Chris Burden: Metropolis II, Robert Irwin: Miracle Mile, Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, Robert Smithson: Gyrostasis, Robert Grosvener: Untitled (yellow), Tony Smith: Smoke, Henri Matisse: La Gerbe, Apostles of Nature: Jugendstil and Art Nouveau, An Irruption of the Rainbow: Color in 20th-Century Art, Twombly, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Ruscha, Oldenburg (Pool Balls, Typewriter Eraser), Celmins (Comb), Miró, Magritte, Calder, Noguchi, Mondrian, William Eggleston (yellow car, yellow wall). I had time to see only about half of what was on view. Dinner with Will and Tom at Sizzler. They each had the buffet. I had steak and lobster with veggies.
