LACMA Plans Rococo Show
François Boucher, Les Confidences Pastorales , about 1745. LACMA. Photo (c) Museum Associates/LACMA LACMA is planning a large exhibition of Rococo painting, sculpture, decorative arts, costumes, and textiles for 2027-2028. Given the show's nine-month run, it's likely to be drawn from the permanent collection, like the current "Collecting Impressionism at LACMA" and the recent "Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia." Rococo material, including the museum's only paintings by Watteau, Chardin, and Boucher, is notably absent from the Geffen Galleries' inaugural installation . "Rococo: Beyond Decadence" will be in the Resnick Pavilion June 6, 2027, through Mar. 5, 2028.
