A teaspoon at a time: how LACMA built its collection
""For me, it's about cultivating collectors, cultivating an audience and building it slowly. And you realise that, after decades, it has changed profoundly.""
"Urban Light is representative of both the big swings and intentional investments that have nurtured the museum from a fledgling offshoot to a world-class art institution."
Urban Light, a public art installation at LACMA since 2008, represents the museum's growth from a small offshoot to a world-class institution. LACMA has embraced a startup mentality, making significant investments every two decades to enhance its offerings. Key figures like Stephanie Barron emphasize the importance of cultivating collectors and audiences over time, leading to profound changes in the museum's collection and engagement with the public.
