Los Angeles County Museum of Art's David Geffen Galleries will open on April 19 with a ribbon-cutting celebration, marking the beginning of two weeks of priority member access to the galleries as well as a series of events. From April 19 through May 3, LACMA members and donors will have the opportunity to see the inaugural installation of the museum’s collection.
Visitors will enjoy seeing artworks spanning the entirety of art history, including museum favorites: Georges de La Tour’s The Magdalen with the Smoking Flame (1640); Henri Matisse’s La Gerbe (1953); Antonio de Arellano and Manuel de Arellano’s Virgin of Guadalupe (Virgen de Guadalupe) (1691); and more. Notable recent acquisitions will also be on view, including Francis Bacon’s Three Studies of Lucian Freud (1969) and Vincent van Gogh’s Tarascon Stagecoach (1888). Adding to the presentation of art from around the world and across time are special commissions by Todd Gray, Lauren Halsey, Sarah Rosalena, Do Ho Suh, Diana Thater, and others.
