Alice Coltrane, Monument Eternal

February 9 – May 4, 2025 Hammer Museum

10899 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024

Join the Hammer for a special evening to celebrate the opening night (February 8th) of Alice Coltrane, Monument Eternal. Enjoy galleries open late and a DJ set by Flying Lotus—Alice Coltrane's grandnephew, Steven Ellison—with special guest WEBSLINGER. Admission is free, and food and drink will be available for purchase throughout the night. Let them know you're coming!

The exhibition Alice Coltrane, Monument Eternal is inspired by the life and legacy of jazz musician, devotional leader, and mother Alice Coltrane (b. 1937, Detroit). The title takes its name from her book Monument Eternal (1977), which reflected her newfound spiritual beliefs; the loss of her husband, the saxophonist John Coltrane; and the path to healing and self-discovery. The exhibition presents works by contemporary American artists paired with ephemera from Coltrane’s personal archive. Featuring a range of mediums including video, installation, performance, and sculpture together with Coltrane’s archival handwritten sheet music, unreleased audio recordings, and rarely seen video footage, Alice Coltrane, Monument Eternal explores themes including spiritual transcendence, sonic innovation, and architectural intimacy to honor Coltrane’s cultural output and practice.

Open Tuesday-Sunday 11am-6pm and on Fridays 11am-8pm (CLOSED MONDAYS)

This exhibition is part of a larger initiative called “The Year of Alice," and in partnership with the John & Alice Coltrane Home.
