Join us for The Michele and Peter Berton Memorial Lecture on Japanese Art! Art writer and independent curator Hollis Goodall will introduce Japan’s creative print (sōsaku-hanga) movement, active from 1904 through the 1960s, when artists, inspired by Western aesthetic ideals, carved and printed their own works to emphasize personal expression and elevate printmaking from craft to fine art.

We are saddened to note the passing of longstanding LACMA trustee Wallis Annenberg. A true luminary who forever changed the face of Los Angeles with her generosity and vision, she leaves a legacy that will be felt in the city and county for generations to come. Her impact on LACMA has been profound. A member of the museum’s board of trustees since 2001, she continued the work of her father, Walter, who was a LACMA life trustee, and his wife, Lenore, who together made several vital gifts to the museum. Annenberg led the Annenberg Foundation in endowing the Wallis Annenberg Curatorial Fellowship, a two-year position offering emerging curators professional training at LACMA, which has since become a cornerstone of our curatorial departments as well as a meaningful launchpad for leaders and scholars in the arts. Annenberg also made a groundbreaking donation in support of photography, enabling LACMA to acquire the Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection. A group of more than 3,500 prints that forms one of the premier histories of photography and collections of masterworks from the 19th and 20th centuries, it represents the most significant and valuable gift of photography in our history.
