The economic center of Los Angeles is more than ever worth a detour. We rush to the new museum The Broad, next to the Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry (photo). Admission is free, the works of Jeff Koons or Cindy Sherman are impressive. From there, we walk to MOCA then Broadway, which lines up the most beautiful old theaters in the shadow of skyscrapers. We then take the car for a stop in the district of El Pueblo, which houses the oldest house in the city (1781), and we stop at Fahrenheit (2254 E Washington Blvd), a textile factory converted into a pointed gallery . Fleeing New York and its exorbitant rents, artists are investing Downtown, as confirmed by the painter-sculptor Andre Miripolsky, installed in a brewery that has become an artists' residence (thebreweryartistlofts.com).
