Amedeo Modigliani in Worldwide Museums: 8. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

How are you?

The 8th place I would like to introduce for this week is The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles in the United States.

LACMA is an art museum located on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile near Los Angeles. Founded in 1961 by splitting from the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art, the museum moved four years later to the Wilshire Boulevard complex designed by architect William Pereira. 

The museum's wealth and collection increased in the 1980s, and several buildings were added in following decades. In 2020, four buildings were demolished to make room for a reconstructed facility designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. However, his design aroused strong community opposition and was criticized by architectural critics and museum curators, objecting to its reduced gallery space, poor design, and exorbitant costs.

LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with nearly one million visitors annually. With a collection of more than 150,000 works from ancient to modern art history, LACMA not only exhibits artworks, but also hosts film screenings and concerts.

The works of Modigliani currently in the possession of LACMA are as follows.

Amedeo Modigliani in Worldwide Museums: 7. The Art Institute of Chicago

 

How are you?

The 7th place I would like to introduce for this week is The Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois in the United States.

Founded in 1879, The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the world. Recognized for its curation and popularity among visitors, the museum hosts around 1.5 million people annually. Organized by 11 curatorial departments, its collection includes iconic works such as Georges Seurat's “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte”, Pablo Picasso's “The Old Guitarist”, Edward Hopper's “Nighthawks”, and Grant Wood's “American Gothic.” Its permanent collection of nearly 300,000 works is exhibited in more than 30 special exhibitions held annually.

As a research institution, the Art Institute of Chicago also houses conservation science department, conservation laboratories and the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries, one of the largest art history and architecture libraries in the United States.

The growth of the collection has resulted in the expansion of the museum after the museum's 1893 building, built for the World's Columbian Exposition. The latest expansion, the Modern Wing designed by Renzo Piano, opened in 2009, made the museum to nearly one million square feet, making it the second-largest art museum in the country after the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Associated with a leading art school, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Institute of Chicago is one of the few remaining integrated art institutions in the United States.

The works of Modigliani currently in the possession of The Art Institute of Chicago are as follows.
