This week, we continue to introduce the nine objects newly acquired through the 31st annual Collectors Committee held the weekend of April 21-22. – This Taihu limestone is the first Chinese spirit stone to enter the museum’s collection and comes from the depths of the Great Lake (Taihu) in Jiangsu Province. As the twelfth century writer Kong Chuan wrote in his preface to Du Wan’s Stone Catalogue of Cloudy Forest, “The purest essence of the energy of the heaven-earth world [the universe] coalesces into stone.” #lacma #2017CollectorsCommittee http://ift.tt/2qFmCIS

Happy Golfer’s Day! Long acknowledged in Southern California as one of the most important artists of the postwar period, John McLaughlin (1898-1976) created a focused body of geometric paintings that are entirely devoid of any connection to everyday experience, inspired by the Japanese notion of the void. “John McLaughlin Paintings: Total Abstraction” consists of 52 paintings and a selection of collages and drawings that establish McLaughlin as one of the foremost innovators of total abstraction. Swipe through to check out views of the ongoing exhibition, now in its final week (closing April 16). #lacma #JohnMcLaughlin #McLaughlinPainting #golfersday #⛳️ http://ift.tt/2p0D4SQ

This week, we continue to introduce the nine newly acquired objects through this past weekend’s 31st annual Collectors Committee. ​ – “​La Prose du Transsibérien et de la Petite Jehanne de France, (Prose of the Trans-Siberian and of Little Jehanne of France)​"​, 1913, stands as one of the purest expressions of European modernism—as art, poetry, book making, and as a collaboration between Sonia Delaunay and poet Blaise Cendrars. The book is made up of a single sheet of paper, divided down the center, and folded like an accordion through twenty-two panels to the length of almost seven feet. It is meant to be seen and read at the same time, like a conductor reads an orchestral score​, and is​ celebrated as much for its lyric beauty as for its unmatched composition of colors by Delaunay.​ #lacma #SoniaDelaunay​ #BlaiseCendrars #modernart #2017CollectorsCommittee http://ift.tt/2q7pqy9

The next time you visit LACMA, be sure to check out Sam Durant’s “Like, man, I’m tired of waiting” (2002) installed on the west facade of the Ahmanson Building. Durant’s electric lightbox, like other works from this series, appropriates the text of a hand-lettered sign pictured in photographs of a civil rights march in 1963, exploring how a phrase can be transformed in different contexts and media. #lacma #SamDurant #LACMAPlusYou #regram via @ mqba [Sam Durant, “Like, man, I’m tired of waiting”, 2002, promised gift of Susan Hancock in honor of the museum’s 50th anniversary] http://ift.tt/2qY7V6i
