This May Day, we celebrate all those that have labored to preserve Hollyhock House, present and past!

The first two photographs are by Zara Pfeifer. During her residency at the MAK Center, Pfeifer documented the hidden labor behind iconic landmarks across Los Angeles, from the Hollywood Sign and palm trees to the Hollyhock House. Through photography and interviews, she examines how maintenance and infrastructure shape the city’s visible landscape. The series was exhibited at the MAK Center Garage Top in March 2026. (More next week!)

Photos 3-4 are from the Hollyhock House Archive, documenting the major restoration work undertaken in the 1960s & 70s from patio concrete patching to living room subfloor repairs.

FINAL VIEW | 𝘙𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘥𝘰: 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘍𝘭𝘺 closes Saturday, April 25.

Advance tickets are available at hollyhockhouse.org | Limited walk-up tickets are available as well.

Thanks to everyone who visited the exhibition!

Happy Earth Day! 💜 Aline Barnsdall said it best—Barnsdall Park, “this sightly spot” and home to “spectacles of nature, visible in few other places in the heart of the city.” (And it’s especially magical when the jacarandas are in bloom!)

FINAL WEEKS! On view through April 25, Janna Ireland: Even By Proxy celebrates Hollyhock House’s striking and subtle details and makes visible the care and conservation that has sustained the site over the last century.

Tickets available now on hollyhockhouse.org.

“I propose to keep my gardens always open to the public—that this sightly spot may be available to those lovers of the beautiful who come here to view sunsets, dawn on the mountains, and other spectacles of nature, visible in few other places in the heart of the city.” - Aline Barnsdall, 1919

Happy birthday to Aline Barnsdall, born on this day in 1882! No April Fools here—only gratitude for Barnsdall’s vision for Hollyhock House and Barnsdall Art Park.
