The Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosted its 15th annual Art+Film Gala this past weekend, raising nearly $7 million “to support LACMA’s efforts to make film more central to its curatorial programming, as well as the museum’s broader mission,” per a release.
Each Art+Film Gala honors one luminary from the art world and one from film. This year’s honorees were artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, while Rosé performed during the festivities. Eva Chow and Leonardio DiCaprio once again served as the evening’s co-chairs.
“It was a privilege to recognize the extraordinary careers of Vija Celmins and Denis Villeneuve, whose work can alter our perception of the visual world, or transport us to worlds of the imagination,” LACMA director and chief executive Michael Govan said in a statement. “This unique event has become a beloved tradition at LACMA thanks to the leadership of our co-chairs Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, and I’m so grateful for their dedication to this gala and the museum.”
As in years past, film and TV stars, celebrities, artists, and collectors gathered at LACMA, which opened its lauded David Geffen Galleries this past April. Among those who showed up were Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, Paris Hilton and her husband LACMA trustee Carter Reum, Parker Posey, and Nicole Kidman, as well as Charles Gaines, Mickalene Thomas, Diana Thater, and Alex Israel.
