Getty Trust Honors Annie Philbin Ann Philbin Photo by Mark Hanauer, courtesy of the Getty Trust Ann Philbin, who during her 25-year tenure built the Hammer into the contemporary art mecca it is today, has been chosen by the J. Paul Getty Trust as this year's Getty Prize recipient. Past recipients include Lord Jacob Rothschild, Frank Gehry and Mark Bradford. Beginning with Bradford the Prize has included a $500,000 donation from the Getty Trust to the charity or non-profit of the awardee's choice. Annie Philbin has selected the Los Angeles branches of NPR (KCRW and LAist). Philbin, NPR, KCRW, and LAist will be celebrated at the annual Getty Prize dinner on September 29, 2025, at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Wooden Elephants Migrate across Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The Great Elephant Migration Arrives in Beverly Hills Photo by Elisa Ferrari, Courtesy of Quinn PR On view until August 1, these 100 life-sized elephant sculptures are handcrafted by indigenous artists from the Nigri Hills in India. The exhibition has already traveled across the United States beginning in Newport, Rhode Island and traveling across the South and Southwest. The Elephants are also a fundraising project — supporting conservation and the coexistence of animals and humans — you can make a donation here, or you can purchase an elephant (it takes four to six months for your elephant to be carved), and each elephant is twinned with an NGO such as Save the Elephants and the International Wildlife Coexistence Network. Among the carved elephant migration project supporters who are listed as 'matriarchs' on their site are Wallis Annenberg, Cher, Diane Von Furstenberg, and (coincidentally) Ann Philbin.

Noah Davis, who died of cancer at 32, was an artist whose work on view at the Hammer we can see evolving before our eyes. Like Jack Whitten, Davis was a restless creative spirit who was always exploring the meaning of Art and how to link Black Artists to their community (he had a series called 'the missing link'). Davis in his work pursued a number of themes and idea. He has a series that was influenced by Ancient Egyptian myth and history. His work is rich in figures from everyday life, recalling artists from Leon Kossoff to Amy Sherald. As his style changes so does the emotional content of the work. One series portrays family life. Another, a series called 1975, is based on a roll of film that his mother shot in that year, and that he discovered undeveloped and that inspired him to see the world through her point of view. In 2012, Davis and his wife artist Karon Davis, founded the Underground Museum (UM) in LA , that was meant to make accessible how people approached and bought art. At the Hammer Museum beautiful benches made by UM supporter Lianne Barnes for UM are installed in each room as part of the Hammer exhibition. At the Hammer there is a room based on one UM's shows called Imitation of Wealth, where Davis appropriates work made by Jeff Koons, Dan Flavin and Duchamp by creating simulacrums of their work, as a commentary on how the artworld can create value in the everyday and also as a commentary on what is and is not allowed to Black artists artistically and commercially. Noah Davis at work, Los Angeles, 2009, Photo by Patrick O'Brien-Smith The exhibition also features a series of drawings, sketches, and collages Davis made in a notebook as he was having chemo. His creativity is as evident as is the race against time which he faced and lost. In the Hammer exhibition, we are seeing the work of a young artist so full of talent and creativity. We will never know what may have been, but at the Hammer we can appreciate all that Noah Davis did create.

Dodgers Announce Pitching Trade Before All-Star Game
Dodgers Announce Pitching Trade Before All-Star Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially seen enough of pitcher Noah Davis, trading the right-hander to the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Advertisement Davis, a 28-year-old who has pitched in parts of the last four seasons, posted a horrific 19.50 ERA and 8-5 K-BB ratio in six innings. Most of that damage came on July 4, when the Houston Astros rocked him for 10 earned runs in 1 1/3 innings. The Dodgers designated Davis for assignment last Friday. Minnesota has already assigned him to Triple-A St. Paul. It's been a frustrating few years for Davis, who debuted with the Colorado Rockies at the end of 2022. Davis owns an 8.95 ERA in 57 1 1/3 big-league innings, and he's tallied -1.8 bWAR over those 23 games. Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Noah DavisJayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Davis opened his Dodgers career with three scoreless outings in his first four games. The exception came when he allowed three runs and blew the save in a 7-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs on April 23. Advertisement We'll see if Davis benefits from a change of scenery, especially given his mixed numbers with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate. Davis recorded a 3.94 ERA in 32 innings at Oklahoma City, though his 4.2 walks-per-nine remains especially concerning. The 47-49 Twins entered the All-Star Break 11 1/2 games out of first place. Minnesota is four games out in the AL Wild Card race.

Dodgers claim RHP Nick Nastrini, DFA RHP Noah Davis
July 11 - The Los Angels Dodgers claimed right-hander Nick Nastrini off waivers from the Miami Marlins, while right-hander Noah Davis was designated for assignment. Nastrini, 25, was designated for assignment this week after just one appearance in the Marlins' minor league system. He made his major league debut last season and went 0-7 with a 7.07 ERA in nine appearances (eight starts) for the Chicago White Sox. He now returns to his original organization as he was drafted in the fourth round by the Dodgers in 2021 then traded to the White Sox in 2023. Davis, 28, was 0-1 with a 19.50 ERA in five appearances for the Dodgers. Most of that damage came in a single outing, when Los Angeles was short on pitching and Davis was left in the game to give up 10 runs while recording just four outs in an 18-1 loss on July 4 to the Houston Astros. In 23 major league appearances with the Colorado Rockies and Dodgers over the past four seasons, Davis is 0-5 with an 8.95 ERA in 23 appearances (six starts). --Field Level Media

Dodgers recall RHP Jack Little, option RHP Noah Davis
July 5 - The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled right-hander Jack Little and optioned right-hander Noah Davis. Little, 27, made his major league debut for the Dodgers on June 19th against the San Diego Padres. Across two innings, he allowed two runs, four hits, and one walk with one strikeout. At Triple-A Oklahoma City, Little has performed well this season, posting a 3.60 ERA and 33 strikeouts across 35 innings. He will now get his second shot at the MLB level. Davis, 28, is a more experienced option, appearing in 18 career games with the Colorado Rockies, before joining the Dodgers' organization this offseason. In his first four outings with the Dodgers, Davis surrendered three earned runs and four hits in 4 2/3 total innings. However, he had a rough outing on Friday, as the Houston Astros racked up 10 runs, including two homers, against him in only 1 1/3 innings. --Field Level Media

Hernández: Dodgers must aggressively pursue pitchers before the trade deadline
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts visits with relief pitcher Noah Davis (56) and catcher Will Smith (16) on the mound after hitting Davis hit the Astros' Christian Walker (8) during the sixth inning at Dodger Stadium on Friday. The Dodgers lost 18-1. (Kevork Djansezian/Los Angeles Times) The Dodgers are counting on Max Muncy to be ready to produce in October. As they should. Muncy is expected to be sidelined for six weeks with a bone bruise in his left knee but that won't push them into the market for another third baseman between now and the July 31 trade deadline. Advertisement 'I don't think that changes much, knowing the certainty of Max coming back at some point,' manager Dave Roberts said. The faith in Muncy is justified by his track record, the former All-Star missing three months last year but setting an all-time playoff record by reaching base in 12 consecutive plate appearances on the team's World Series run.

They still have to address their greatest obstacle to become their sport's repeat champions in 25 years. They still have to address their starting pitching. Advertisement Every sign points to the Dodgers taking a passive approach in dealing with the issue, as they continue to point to the anticipated returns of Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell. Glasnow pitched 4 ⅓ innings for triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday and Roberts said he expected the 6-foot-8 right-hander to rejoin the rotation on the Dodgers' upcoming trip to Milwaukee and San Francisco. Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow throws in the outfield before a game against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on June 4. (Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times) Snell pitched to hitters in live batting practice on Wednesday and is scheduled to do so again on Saturday. The left-hander could be on a minor-league rehabilitation assignment by next week. Glasnow and Snell are former All-Stars, but how much can the Dodgers rely on them? Advertisement Unironically nicknamed 'Glass,' Glasnow hasn't pitched since April. The $136.5-million man has never pitched more than the 134 innings he pitched last year, and even then, he wasn't unavailable for the playoffs. Snell made just 20 starts last year with the San Francisco Giants but was signed by the Dodgers to a five-year, $182-million contract over the winter. He made only two starts for them before he was placed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation. Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell throws the ball against the Atlanta Braves at Dodger Stadium on April 2. (Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times) Ideally, the Dodgers' postseason rotation would consist of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Snell, Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani. There's no guarantee that will materialize, considering that Yamamoto and Ohtani have their own complicated medical histories. Advertisement Yamamoto pitched heroically in the playoffs last year but only after missing three months in the regular season. Ohtani returned from his second elbow reconstruction last month but has been used as an opener so far. Ohtani is expected to pitch two innings on Saturday against the Houston Astros, and the team doesn't envision using him for more than four or five innings at a time in the playoffs. Every pitcher is an injury risk, and the Dodgers know that. But just because they won the World Series last year with three starting pitchers — they resorted to bullpen games when Yamamoto, Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler couldn't pitch — doesn't mean they can lean as heavily on their relievers and expect the same results. The approach has resulted in more postseason disappointments than championships, so much so that when Ohtani was being recruited by the Dodgers before last season, Mark Walter told him he considered his previous 12 years of ownership to be a failure. Ohtani will celebrate his 31st birthday on Saturday. He might not be showing his age yet, but Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts have. Freeman will be 36 in September and Betts 33 in October. The window in which the Dodgers have three MVP-caliber players in the lineup is closing, which should inspire a sense of urgency. Read more: With Max Muncy expected back from knee injury, Dodgers stick with trade deadline plans Advertisement The front office's reluctance to shop in a seller's market is understandable, considering the most attractive possibilities are by no means sure things. Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves is on the 60-day injured list with a fractured rib. Sandy Alcantara of the Miami Marlins has been up and down in his return from Tommy John surgery. Then again, the Dodgers made a smart buy in Flaherty last year and the gamble resulted in a World Series. At this point, it's up to Glasnow and Snell to perform well enough to convince the Dodgers they don't need any more pitching. Until Glasnow and Snell do that, the team should operate as if it has to do something. Sign up for more Dodgers news with Dodgers Dugout. Delivered at the start of each series.
