LACMA programs Resnick
The new Resnick Pavilion at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art isn’t scheduled to open until October, but the museum already has planned three inaugural exhibitions for the much-anticipated space.
LACMA said Friday that the three exhibitions would be “Eye for the Sensual: Selections From the Resnick Collection,†“Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700-1915†and “Olmec: Masterworks of Ancient Mexico†-- shows meant to “highlight the diversity of the museum’s encyclopedic collection and programming.â€
Designed by Renzo Piano, the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Exhibition Pavilion will feature 45,000 square feet of space. It is named for the Beverly Hills couple who gave $45 million to the museum and is part of an ongoing project to update and unify the LACMA campus.
“Eye of the Sensual†will include about 125 European paintings, sculptures and decorative arts from the Resnick collection. “Fashioning Fashion†will survey of sartorial evolution from the Age of Enlightenment to World War I. “Olmec†will feature artifacts and art from the Mexican civilization dating from about 1400 BC. It is co-organized with Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
