George Herms photographed by Robbie Fommano for Interview, 2010

“The closest thing to a West-Coast art shaman...sculptor, painter, assemblage master, and jazz lover George Herms has roots so deep in the Los Angeles creative community that his vertiginous three-dimensional collages could be described as odes to timelessness and decay while unquestionably running on a Pacific Standard clock.”
