Super stoked that this exhibit features a ton of Japanese artists. Really happy to see some works from Lee Ufan, Susumu Koshimizu, and Yayoi Kusama. Was definitely happy to discover new Japanese artists as well! I know most people may be visiting to see Yoshitomo Nara, but I highly encourage to take time to view the other artists as well, and simply explore the rest of the gallery as you’ll very likely discover something new for yourself.

I visited during Gallery Weekend and was absolutely blown away. There was an artist conversation, zine reading, and film screening. I left feeling inspired and invigorated.

Visited during the art book fair this year and i loved the openess of the space and the way it held the energy inside. there are many cool events held at this space and so many incredible ideas and talents that flow through.

It was pretty good it's a nice gallery there. It's a nice gallery. Over onto the side in Culver City. I was inspired

Always worth the drive to Culver City! Within walking distance there are about 13 galleries here, and I start at Plum and Poe because I know it will be powerful. There is a upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs there is one huge room, with high open ceilings and concrete floors. The space is great. As you turn the corner there's a smaller area. You can take the stairs or elevator. Upstairs there is office space, and gallery space. This is more intimate, but still quite large. There is a gift shop downstairs. There is a help desk where I have always found the person there to be friendly, knowledgeable and approachable.

Very open, clean, nice, and inviting gallery. It gives the type of welcoming aura that makes the viewer enjoy the artwork. The upstairs gallery featured the exhibition "Alchemical Love" by pascALEjandro. There was a soundtrack accompaniment to these paintings which made me quite emotional and added an extra dimension to the experience.

Drove here to check out Nara's work. Decent size gallery with 3-4 rooms? Free gallery. Parking: They have free parking in the back when you enter the small street. If it's full then there's street parking.

Blum & Poe does great programming - with artist talks, screenings, art book fairs, and more. Parking in the area can be difficult- take a rideshare service if u can

I've been seeing this gallery all over my social media platforms and I really excited to find out that they had work from Yoshimoto Nara, Yukinori Yanagi, Susumi Koshimizu, etc. the place itself is small, but it is 100% worth it to go. The good thing about this location is that you can walk up and down the street and find other smaller exhibits. Which was really nice! Overall, which a great place to visit!

Experience: Went on a Saturday evening around 5pm. Only two patrons in there, which was perfect for me since I love roaming around empty gallery spaces. Went to check out Alma Allen's exhibit of abstract sculptures, which was in the smaller gallery space outside but also stood to enjoy Friedrich Kunath's "I Don't Know The Place, But I Know How To Get There" in the main space. Wonderful spacious gallery, open windows, large white walls, cute little bench area with string lights, and free entry. Location & parking: Easy peasy! Parked in their parking lot, plenty of space on a Saturday evening. Big points for this. Vibes: Not the friendliest staff, which I'm used to in these art spaces. They never greet me, smile, or if I ask a question, look at me like they just saw a ghost. Nonetheless, I went to see art, and that is exactly what I got. Huge wide space to roam around and admire art in, my dream. I used to gallery hop in NYC all the time, and this space can easily compete with David Zwirner's, Pace's, or Gagosian's gallery space. Top tier. Overall: This will be one of my go to galleries in the city, looking forward to visiting more often.

One of the best galleries in LA. Beautiful space and well curated exhibits. Easy parking behind the building is also a plus for that area :)

Cool art, a free parking lot, wheelchair accessible (elevator available), clean bathroom, and not crowded at all Only con was the unfriendly staff, which others echoed in their reviews, so one star off for that. Will come again!

So cool they offer workshops here. Took ikebana class in conjunction with Asuka A Ogawa Exhibition. I dropped in last minute and made a nice arrangement. Enjoyed looking at Ogawa's art too. Hope they offer more workshops in the future.

If you park in front of the building, you will notice there is an Interesting hidden door awaits. If not of the existence of a handle, I would have never guessed it is an entrance. The corridor in the entry way has some subtle architecture elements that keep the suspense. Love the exhibits and look forward to come here in the near future. Clip here! AGAIN, you got to see it with your own eyes:) meet up with someone, exchange few conversations with the alike. https://www.instagram.com/tv/BwV_2hxHElF/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=2tqzulw71r47

Beautiful gallery. Great layout with wide open white space. Got to view the works of Takashi Murakami & Yoshimoto Nara. Dont forget to go upstairs!

I saw two equally beautiful exhibits here, including Mimi Lauter's Sensus Oxynation and Enrico David. Sensus Oxynation is a burst of beautiful colors contrasting perfectly with the bright white interior building. One paintings in particular reminded me of my favorite flower: the sunflower. Of course this made me happy. Enrico David consisted of sculptures and large portraits utilizing mixed media. Museum admission is free. There is a small (free) parking lot just out front.

It was an exhibition painting and sculpture by Takashi Murakami. Nice gallery, very enjoyable viewing. Great layout, wide open spaces with couple of rooms featuring his collections. The first gallary walk in couple huge panoramic painting. The details on it was so amazing, you can stand there for couple hours and find different things on each demonic monsters and monks. The 2nd gallery was happier with smiley faces and very colorful and the third gallery was him and his dogs. i enjoy every pieces that was there today.

Beautiful gallery. They change it every month. Good to bring your friends or a date. And it's free so it's worth it.

I went on Saturday for the Takashi Murakami show. There was a reception where they had Tecate and water (I saw someone with wine but I don't know where she got that from). Parking wasn't difficult since I arrived early but there was a valet as well. The gallery is small (two large rooms, about 8 large paintings) so we were done like in 10 minutes but we took a couple of tours around to take a look at the details. There was a tiny office area where you could purchase prints. It was a great event. Bonus- it's just a few doors down from the Mandrake, which is my favorite bar in Culver City.

Good freaking god, their new space is grand. Massive. Too big, even, to be called a gallery-- this is a series of galleries. A for-profit museum, really. It's at least four times the size of their old space across the street. And speaking of, with galleries like these Culver City can hardly be called up and coming. With works by Murakami, Hawkinson, and Koons, I think it's safe to say Culver City's art scene is no longer young and hip but grand and glorious. Blum & Poe even has a parking lot.

Simple, spacious gallery space. The building is home to others that must use it for research and the like. Parking is in back so no worries about battling La Cienega parking during the rush hour traffic. No charge for your visit here - a plus!

Came here for the Arhat exhibit by Takashi Murakami - which is AMAZING!!! Huge, panoramic paintings, gold, platinum, and bronze statues, and art that's super detailed, complicated, genius, and mesmerizing! From outside on the street, the building looks like an old, unmarked, and a solid door that one could mistaken the gallery to be closed. But just open it and walk up the stairs, turn left and you're there. And once inside, you're baffled that it's so much bigger than what you thought it to be. parking is tricky since it is off La Cienega Blvd, you gotta park on the street and walk, but I'm sure whatever exhibit your checking out will make it worth it.

Blum and Poe is one of the best gallery spaces in LA. It is definitely the most venerated in Culver City, inhabiting an impressive lot on La Cienega. Their ability to attract blue chip artists is amazing; I recently met Chuck Close here. In fact, it's been 20 years since NY-based artist showed here. Awesome.

Founded by Jeffrey Poe and Timothy Blum, this gallery is about 13 years old. In a little over a week, the next exhibition is Yoshitomo Nara! They've showed major international artists like Mark Grotjahn, Sam Durant, and Sharon Lockhart. This gallery moved to Culver City in 2003 but next year they're moving across the street for more space. When I visit (I don't go to the openings, can't always see anything past the party), no one ever pushes me to buy anything.

Thanks Waffles for posting the Murakami exhibit! I saw Takashi Murakami here... I didn't ask for a picture when I saw him... Tried to look for him after to take a picture... He was no esta aqui. =( *Tear* lost opportunities sock.

One night, my boyfriend and I were here for the opening of the Yoshitomo Nara exhibit. We got to meet Yoshitomo Nara, one of our favorite artists and we were completely blown away by his exhibit. The gallery itself is nicely laid out. There's a lot of space, so you don't feel like you're elbow to elbow with other people or waiting in line from one painting to another- which I love. There's a sense of privacy and you can take your time with each piece. What makes this place wonderful, however, is the roster of artists they feature.

This is normally a great gallery. Pretty sad that they are showing celebrities hobbies instead of real art now a days. What's next? Justin Bieber and Chris Brown's street art exhibition? Tim Blum has really lost it in his old age I guess.....

Very low key. Really nice if you enjoy minimalistic art, but felt as if the exihibitions were kinda small.

I mean...it's kind of an institution. For me, it's THE place to see art anywhere close to the Westside. A few years ago, they had an amazing Chuck Close show, and they're always showcasing fantastic artists. Parking is pretty easy on the street. Don't expect friendly staff. Go for the art, and ignore the eyebrow that raises at the front desk when you walk in wearing shorts, a tank top, and slightly broken flip flops...

Great exhibits. I've been to many of the local galleries in the area and I've always been impressed with these guys. Top notch crew working here.

most beautiful gallery space I've ever seen. They really understand space and art.
