Art of the Pacific
Ahmanson Building, 1st Level
November 7, 2009-

In summer 2008 LACMA acquired one of the most significant private collections of the Art of the Pacific Islands to be assembled in the twentieth century. Representative of the wide range of arts from the Pacific regions and with historic provenance, the collection’s greatest strengths lie in the areas of Polynesia and Melanesia, and includes objects from Micronesia. The future display of these works will follow a variety of strategies. In this first exhibition, working with the Viennese artist Franz West, the museum has created geographical groupings following population migration patterns, west to east, in the general sequence of the settlement of the Pacific Islands.
