The
Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is an art museum
in Los Angeles, California. It is
located on Wilshire Boulevard along Museum Row in the Miracle Mile vicinity of Los
Angeles, adjacent to the George C. Page Museum and La
Brea Tar Pits.
LACMA
is the largest encyclopedic museum west of Chicago and
attracts nearly one million visitors annually.[3]
Its holdings include more than 100,000 works spanning the history of art from
ancient times to the present. In addition to art exhibits, the museum features
film and concert series throughout the year.
The
Los Angeles County Museum of Art was established as a museum in 1961. Prior to
this, LACMA was part of the Los Angeles Museum of
History, Science and Art, founded in 1910 in Exposition Park near the University of Southern California.
In 1965, the museum moved to a new Wilshire
Boulevard complex as an independent, art-focused
institution, the largest new museum to be built in the United States
after the National Gallery of Art.
The
museum was built in a style similar to Lincoln
Center and the Los Angeles Music Center and
consisted of three buildings: the Ahmanson Building, the Bing Center, and the
Lytton Gallery (renamed the Frances and Armand
Hammer Building in 1968). The board selected LA architect William
Pereira over the directors' recommendation of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the
buildings.[4]
The LA Music Center and LACMA were concurrent large civic projects which vied
for attention and donors in Los
Angeles.
To
house its growing collections of modern and contemporary art, and to provide
more space for exhibitions, the museum hired the architectural firm of Hardy,
Holzman, Pfeiffer Associates to design its Robert O. Anderson Building, which
opened in 1986 (renamed the Art of the Americas Building in 2007).
The
museum's Pavilion for Japanese Art, designed by
maverick architect Bruce Goff, opened in 1988, as did the B.
Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden of Rodin
bronzes. In
1994, LACMA purchased the adjacent May Department Stores building, an
impressive example of streamline moderne architecture
designed by Albert C. Martin Sr. LACMA West increased the museum's size by 30
percent when the building opened in 1998.
In
2004, LACMA's Board of Trustees unanimously approved plans to transform the
museum, led by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano.
The transformation consists of three phases. Phase I started in 2004 and was
completed in February 2008. Phase III is scheduled to be completed toward the
end of 2010.
On
March 6, 2007, BP announced a $25 million donation to
name the entry pavilion under construction as part of LACMA's renovation
campaign the "BP Grand Entrance." Solar panels atop the pavilion
attempt to cast BP as an environmental innovator. The $25 million gift matches Walt Disney Co.'s
1997 gift for Disney Hall as the biggest corporate donation to the
arts in Southern California. Previously, in
2006, LACMA had announced that the new entrance would be called the "Lynda
and Stewart Resnick Grand
Entrance Pavilion", in honor of their $25 million gift.
The
entry pavilion is a key point in architect Renzo Piano's plan to unify LACMA's
sprawling, often confusing layout of buildings. The BP Grand Entrance and the
adjacent Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM) comprise the $191 million
(originally $150 million) first phase of the three-part expansion and
renovation campaign. BCAM is named for Eli &
Edythe Broad, who gave $60 million to LACMA's campaign; Mr. Broad also
serves on LACMA's Board of Directors.[5]
BCAM opened on February 16, 2008.
LACMA's
more than 100,000 objects are divided among its numerous departments by region,
media, and time period and are spread amongst the various museum buildings.[12]
The
Modern Art collection is displayed in the Ahmanson
Building which was renovated in 2008
to have a new entrance featuring a large staircase, conceived as a gathering
place similar to Rome's
Spanish
Steps. Filling the atrium at the base of the staircase is Tony Smith's
massive sculpture Smoke (1967).[13]
The modern collection on the plaza level displays works from 1900 to the 1970s,
largely populated by the Janice and Henry Lazaroff collection. The plaza level
galleries house African art and a gallery highlighting the Robert Gore
Rifkind Center
for German Expressionist Studies. The second floor of the Ahmanson Building
has Greek and Roman Art galleries.
The
Art of the Americas
Building has American,
Latin American and pre-Columbian collections displayed on the second floor and
temporary exhibition space on the first floor. The Hammer Building
houses the Chinese and Korean collections.[13]
Los Angeles sculptor Robert Graham created the towering, bronze
Retrospective Column (1981, cast in 1986) for the entrance of the Art of
the Americas Building.
The
Pavilion for Japanese Art displays the Shin'enkan collection donated by Joe D.
Price.
The
Contemporary Art collection is displayed in the 60,000 square foot Broad
Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM), opened on February 16, 2008. BCAM's inaugural
exhibition featured 176 works by 28 artists of postwar Modern art from the late
1950s to the present. All but 30 of the works initially displayed came from the
collection of Eli and Edythe Broad.[14]
The
Broads contributed $10 million to fund the
purchase of Richard Serra's Band sculpture, on display on
the first floor of BCAM when the building opened.
Surrounding
the BCAM building and LACMA's courtyard is a 100 palm tree
garden, designed by artist Robert Irwin and landscape architect Paul Comstock. Some of the 30
varieties of palms are in the ground, but most are in large wooden boxes above
ground.[16][14]
Directly in front of the new entrance to LACMA on Wilshire Boulevard is Chris
Burden's Urban Light (2008), an orderly, multi-tiered installation
of 202 antique cast-iron street lights from various cities in and around the
Los Angeles area. The street lights are functional, turn on in the evening, and
are powered by solar panels on the roof of the BP Grand Entrance.
Originally
Jeff Koons Tulips sculpture was inside the Grand Entrance building and
the Fire Truck was outside in the courtyard. Both sculptures were
removed after being on display for 3 months due to unexpected damage from
patrons and wear.
