	Los Angeles County Museum of Art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, also known as LACMA, is the official art museum of the County of Los Angeles, California.
		LACMA was founded in 1910 as part of the Museum of Science, History and Art in the Exposition Park area near the University of Southern California, and became an independent art-focused institution in 1961.
		LACMA boasts one of the largest collections of Latin American Art due to the generous donation of more than 2,000 works of art by Bernard Lewin and his wife Edith Lewin in 1996.

	Yayoi Kusama. (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA) - Artforum International - HighBeam Research
		Her 'Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama, 1958-1968' exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the first in-depth evaluation of the artist's formative period.
		The show in fact seeks to restore the public memory of her early career and is made more poignant by the artist's confinement in a psychiatric hospital.
		The fact that more than one was presented unclean is symptomatic of the mindset that occasioned this show, for this exhibition is less about looking carefully at the art than about obtaining justice where Kusama's supposedly neglected achievement is concerned, about restoring the public memory of her early career.

	Islamic Art Indroduction
		For an American audience a visit to the Islamic galleries of a museum such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art can represent the first step toward penetrating the history of a religion and a culture that are often in the news but are little understood.
		Although this is a highly dynamic art, which is often marked by strong regional characteristics as well as by significant influences from other cultures, it retains an overall coherence that is remarkable given its vast geographic and temporal boundaries.
		Royal patronage of secular art was also a standard feature of Islamic sovereignty, one that enabled the ruler to demonstrate the splendor of his court and, by extension, the superiority of his state.

		Ignoring its duty to preserve art, the museum is about to allow the commissioned murals and panels in its garage to be destroyed.
		The phrase "street art" ought to be treated like art historical shorthand on a par with "cubism" or "pop art." Besides, it didn't seem like a betrayal of the movement's origins when LACMA, a preeminent establishment institution, commissioned the installation.
		Museums exist in part to preserve art that merits saving, regardless of the history or traditions behind it.
