From art critic KnightLAT: 'LACMA has become the Incredible Shrinking Museum.'
Peter Zumthor's newest design for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art shrinks rather than enlarges the size of its permanent collection galleries.
What was once a project designed to add nearly 50,000 square feet of critically needed gallery space committed to showcasing the museum’s impressive and still-growing permanent collection of paintings, sculptures and other global works of art has been turned on its head. Now, rather than enlarge the capacity, the scheme is to reduce the existing gallery square footage by more than 10,000 square feet.LACMA has become the Incredible Shrinking Museum.
The following year, in the run-up to the Board of Supervisors vote on earmarking project funds, Govan told a meeting of editors and reporters at The Times that the display area had changed. The design’s newest iteration would enlarge space for the permanent collection by 50,000 square feet.
