The Museum of Contemporary Art opens "Destroy the Picture: Painting the Void, 1949–62" to the public Saturday 16. Curated by Paul Schimmel for MOCA in Los Angeles, the exhibition examines how Lee Bontecou, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein and other artists redefined painting after World War II, ripping, burning, shooting and otherwise altering their canvases as well as incorporating performance and collage into the medium.

This morning, Gutai artist Saburo Murakami's (1925–96) son re-created his father's 1955 performance-painting Entrance, which you can see in our slideshow. It will greet visitors to "Destroy the Picture" for the duration of the exhibition.

Artist Lou Mallozzi performs Didact in conjunction with "Destroy the Picture" at the MCA Saturday 16 at 1pm. Free with museum admission.
