One of the achievements I’m most proud of this year at lacma is the number of fantastic exhibitions of Latin American
art we’ve mounted, and the many collaborations with partners in Mexico they have entailed. First was Contested Visions
in the Spanish Colonial World, which closed in January and will travel to Chapultepec this summer. Opening the day
Contested Visions closed was In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States, a mesmerizing exhibition now on view in the Resnick Pavilion that was co-organized with the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico
City, where it will travel after a stop at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec. And now we are gearing up for the
April 1 opening of Children of the Plumed Serpent: The Legacy of Quetzalcoatl in Ancient Mexico—a stunning assembly of frescoes,
codices, ceramics, and other objects produced in Mesoamerica between ad 900 and 1521.
Our collaborations in Mexico and South America are not limited to exhibitions mounted at lacma. Last year curator
Stephen Markel assembled works from our permanent collection of ancient Indian art—one of the best such collections
in the world—for exhibition in Mexico City, followed by a second venue in Santiago, Chile; India’s Universe is the first
major exhibition of pre-modern Indian art to be seen in either country.
India’s Universe is one of nearly a dozen lacma-organized exhibitions traveling the globe in the next twelve months.
The incredible work of our dedicated curators will be appreciated in museums around the U.S. as well as in Germany,
France, Denmark, Qatar, and more.
In other words, lacma is as active around the world as it is right here on campus—and there is plenty happening here,
too. In addition to In Wonderland and the upcoming Children of the Plumed Serpent, we will open a retrospective of photographer Robert Adams in March, joining other shows currently on view such as Ellsworth Kelly: Prints and Paintings and
California Design, 1930–1965: “Living in a Modern Way.” It is because of your ongoing support that we are able to accomplish
these incredible endeavors, at home and abroad.

news & highlights
50 William Eggleston Photographs Added to Collection
lacma has acquired fifty photographs by William
Eggleston, widely recognized as one of the most influential photographers of the last half-century. The artworks,
which span four decades of Eggleston’s career and
include images from his series Los Alamos (1965–74), Lost
and Found (1965–74), 2¼ (1999), and others, were added
to the museum’s collection thanks to a generous gift
from Caldecot Chubb, former director of the Eggleston
Artistic Trust. A number of the newly acquired photographs were also featured in 2010 lacma exhibition
William Eggleston: Democratic Camera—Photographs and
Video, 1961–2008. The acquisition adds to lacma’s growing photography collection, recently enhanced by other
major acquisitions including the art and archives of
Robert Mapplethorpe, acquired jointly with the Getty in
2011, and the Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection,
acquired in 2008.
attracted a great depth and range of press coverage, from
local outlets such as nbc, the Los Angeles Times, and kcrw,
to national stories in npr and USA Today, and circling the
globe to bbc, China Daily, and Korea Herald. Metropolis II is
on view Fridays through Sundays. Visit lacma.org for
specific operating times.
In Wonderland Earns Rave
Los Angeles Times critic Christopher Knight calls In
Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in
Mexico and the United States an “engrossing” exhibition
that “explodes the tale” of surrealism as a Eurocentric,
male-dominated art form. Knight singles out highlights
such as Dorothea Tanning’s 1942 painting Birthday,
Frida Kahlo’s double self-portrait, and other works by
Remedios Varo and Gertrude Abercrombie, as well as
lesser-known artists like Kati Horna and Julia Thecla.
Seven works by Kahlo featured in the exhibition earn
special praise: “The show’s sprawling size provides a
welcome artistic context for Kahlo, one of the 20th
century’s most famous painters,” he writes. “Accompanied by so many Surrealist women, Kahlo can be
appreciated for her work, rather than for her singular
biography.” In Wonderland is on view through May 6.
South Asian Sculpture Gallery Reinstalled
Metropolis II Attracts Crowds, Coverage
Chris Burden’s Metropolis II, on long-term loan to lacma
courtesy of the Nicolas Berggruen Charitable Foundation, has garnered acclaim from visitors and news
sources. Since opening on January 14, the large-scale
kinetic sculpture has been seen by more than 50,000
viewers, both young and old. The sculpture has also
Located on the fourth floor of the Ahmanson Building,
lacma’s gallery for South Asian sculpture has recently
been reinstalled. The new presentation features thirtyfour objects and emphasizes masterpieces and new
acquisitions. Objects on view include the collection’s
signature work, The Hindu God Shiva as Nataraja, the Lord
of Dance, c. 950–1000, and new acquisitions such as
Shivalinga, a late-fourth-century sandstone, and a seventeenth-century wooden sculpture, The Hindu Goddess Kali.
lacma Exhibitions Open in Santiago, Doha, Berlin, u.s.
This spring five exhibitions organized or co-organized
by lacma are traveling to other venues around the world.
India’s Universe: Masterworks from the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art, which collects 150 objects from lacma’s
permanent collection of ancient Indian art, will open
this month at the Centro Cultural Palacio de la Moneda
in Santiago, Chile—the first major exhibition of ancient
Indian art to go on view in that country. Also in March,
Gifts of the Sultan: The Arts of Giving at the Islamic Courts,
which was on view at lacma last year, will open at
the Islamic Museum of Art in Doha, Qatar. One of the
inaugural exhibitions in the Resnick Pavilion, Fashioning
Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700–1915, which features
fashionable dress from a recent major collection acquisition, will travel to the Deutsche Historisches Museum
on April 27. Additionally, two more lacma-organized
exhibitions have recently opened in the United States:
David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy is currently on view at the
Wexner Center for the Visual Arts in Columbus, Ohio,
and Asco: Elite of the Obscure, a Retrospective, 1972–1987 is
on view at the Williams College Museum of Art in
Williamstown, Massachusetts.

Children of the Plumed Serpent
April 1–July 1, 2012 | Resnick Pavilion
Member Preview Days: March 29–31
Children of the Plumed Serpent: The Legacy of Quetzalcoatl
in Ancient Mexico is the first large-scale exploration of ancient
kingdoms of southern Mexico and their patron deity,
Quetzalcoatl, the human incarnation of the Plumed
Serpent. Through codices, gold, ceramics, and
textiles, this exhibition traces the extensive trade
networks that facilitated the spread of the
International Style and a pictographic writing
system. These communities successfully
resisted both Aztec and later Spanish subjugation, thriving in an era of international entrepreneurship. Featuring
more than two hundred objects,
Children of the Plumed Serpent
highlights the extraordinary aesthetic achievements of the peoples who
became, and remain today, the
Children of the Plumed Serpent.
This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art and made possible by the
National Endowment for the Humanities. It was
supported in part by the National Endowment for
the Arts, by the Ethnic Arts Council of Los Angeles, and by an indemnity from the Federal Council
on the Arts and the Humanities.
The Los Angeles presentation was made possible in
part by lacma’s Wallis Annenberg Director’s Endowment Fund. The organizers are grateful for the special
collaboration of the National Council for Culture and the
Arts (conaculta), Mexico, and the National Institute for
Anthropology and History (inah), Mexico.

The Place We Live,
A Retrospective Selection
of Photographs
For more than four decades Robert
Member Preview Days: March 8–10
Adams’s photographs have captured
the tension between the human and
natural worlds in the ever-changing
landscape of the American West.
The Place We Live is a retrospective
of Adams’s major projects, featuring
nearly three hundred photographs,
including his seminal series The New
West, Summer Nights, and Turning Back.
Renowned for his epic, influential
chronicling of the American experience, Adams approaches the places
around him with a bare honesty that
reveals man’s fraught presence in the
landscape, along with great beauty
and hope.
This exhibition was organized by the Yale
University Art Gallery. The Los Angeles presentation was made possible in part by lacma’s Wallis
Annenberg Director’s Endowment Fund.

by fifteen scholars examining the history and
symbolism of the codices, polychrome ceramics,
textiles, and more created by this sophisticated
culture in the Postclassic period.
