The program for the film gala of the Museum of the County Museum of Los Angeles is almost in stone.
On November 1, the museum will honor the filmmaker Ryan Coogler and the artist Mary Corse in front of a fashionable room thanks to the return of the sponsor presenting Gucci. Back this year for the 14th episode, Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio who will serve as co -presidents of the evening.
“Mary Corse continuously expanded the possibilities of painting in her exquisite works, which invite us to think deep about the nature of perception,” proposed the CEO of Lacma and the director of Wallis Annenberg, Michael Govan. “Ryan Coogler’s films do something just as transformative. Thanks to a masterful narration and a visual innovation, he refreshes history, redefines the stories and opens up new worlds of possibility. The two artists challenge us to see differently, whether it is a change in light or a change of story and it is at the heart of what museums aspires to do. ”

Corsica is a key member of the artistic scene of Los Angeles since the 1960s and is closely associated with the movement of light and space. Recent exhibitions include Mary Corse: a survey in light at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Lacma. She has works in the permanent collections of Lacma, Dia Art Foundation, The Whitney, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Center Pompidou.
Lacma has other reasons to raise glasses this fall: the Gala of the Film Art + will take place in the context of the David Geffen galleries almost finished from the museum. Designed by the architect Peter Zumthor, the jewel of the crown should open its doors in April 2026. The profits of art + film are channeled in Lacma’s efforts to make the film more central to its conservative program as well as to the general mission of the institution.
