  1. Art of the ancient Americas may not be your thing, but you have to love this earthenware crab vessel. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules. 🦀 This is going into our imaginary museum replica store, pronto.

    Colombia, Calima style, Ilama period, ca. 1500 BCE-100 CE. 🏺

    To learn a bit more about this vessel, which is on display in the newly-opened LACMA/David Geffen Galleries, see the post on my Flickr account, below. 🏺 2/

  2. one of midcentury America’s eccentric savants, a prodigy and polymath

    Michael Kimmelman reviews (here) Bruce Goff: Material Worlds, a recent exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. He also manages to slide in a review of sorts for the new LACMA by Zumthor.

    “The Chicago show is a revelation and hoot, but you can also get a dose of Goff by visiting the new home for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, when it opens this spring.

    It’s a showstopper on stilts, bestriding Wilshire Boulevard, designed by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. I mention it because Goff designed the pavilion next door. Zumthor’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide a new High Line-level view of the neighbor…It was among the last projects Goff worked on before his death, completed by his colleague Bart Prince in 1988. The architecture shocked Angelenos at the time. It is now embraced as a civic icon. It’s a masterpiece of 20th century Americana. I suspect it will give Zumthor’s behemoth a run for its money.”

  4. How much did LACMA spend on new David Geffen Galleries?

    It’s a thrilling example of progressive modernist design. Or an amorphous concrete monstrosity. Love it or hate it,…

  5. Iwan Baan photographed LACMA's new Zumthor galleries before art installation — just architecture, light, and material. That window between completion and occupancy produces images you can't replicate later. Worth building early access into any significant commission from the start.

  6. Next LACMA: View of the new Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), under construction. This is the third major version of the museum. I still like the original one (1965) the best, but that was a different museum for different time.

    建設中の新しいロサンゼルス郡立美術館(LACMA)。ウィルシャー大通りに建設中のこの建物は、美術館の3代目となる建物だ。私は今でもオリジナル(1965年)が一番好きだが、それは違う時代の、違う美術館だった。 hermosawavephotography.com/250 #LACMA #ロサンゼルス #美術館 #アート #建設中

  7. I have never been to LA, but I feel I really must go there next year so that I can see the new LACMA and make up my own mind about it.
