Simone Leigh / LACMA, Los Angeles

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the California African American Museum (CAAM) are showcasing “Simone Leigh,” the first extensive exhibition of this renowned artist’s multifaceted work and her largest display on the West Coast to date. This exhibition, held across both museums, features numerous significant pieces from Leigh’s career, including works from her notable 2022 Venice Biennale project. Serving as the final stop on Simone Leigh’s national tour, this collaborative presentation allows visitors to see a variety of works not previously exhibited, including her lesser-known chandelier pieces and a new sculpture titled “Untitled (after June Jordan)” (2024). In this video we have a look at the presentation at LACMA.
