Vancouver Art Gallery selects architects for second attempt at new building

The Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) has selected Formline Architecture and Urbanism, based in Vancouver, and KPMB Architects, based in Toronto, to design its new building at Larwill Park in downtown Vancouver. The announcement comes ten months after the museum abandoned a Herzog & de Meuron design due to a 50% cost increase, and after parting ways with director Anthony Kiendl. The VAG has outgrown its current 1913 courthouse home, and the new project was initiated 13 years ago by former director Kathleen Bartels. A preliminary design is expected next year, though no budget, timeline, or opening date has been revealed.

The work of late Wilmington artist Minnie Evans is featured in two separate national exhibitions.

LACMA’s US$720m David Geffen Galleries expansion to open in 2026

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced that its long-awaited David Geffen Galleries expansion will open in April 2026, over two decades after the project was first announced in 2001. Designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the $720 million serpentine structure spans Wilshire Boulevard and replaces several older buildings, increasing gallery space from 130,000 to 220,000 square feet. The project faced numerous setbacks, including public criticism of the design, concerns over the nearby La Brea Tar Pits, the discovery of sabre-toothed tiger skulls during construction, pandemic delays, the departure of longtime donor The Ahmanson Foundation, and Zumthor's distancing from the project in 2023 due to cost compromises. A series of soft openings are planned for summer 2025 before the full public debut.

A first look inside LACMA’s Zumthor-designed David Geffen Galleries as museum hosts preview opening

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has released new photographs of its David Geffen Galleries, designed by architect Peter Zumthor with SOM as collaborating architect. The building, a long horizontal glass and concrete structure curving along Hancock Park and Wilshire Boulevard, opened temporarily for a three-day preview last week and is scheduled to open to the public in April 2026. The 347,500-square-foot wing includes 110,000 square feet of gallery space, along with street-level pavilions housing a theater, store, bar, and education center. To mark the preview, LACMA hosted three "sonic previews" featuring composer Kamasi Washington leading over 100 musicians in a performance of his work Harmony of Difference. Architectural critic Christopher Hawthorne described the wing as "bold and compromised in nearly equal measure," while Zumthor noted that curators initially critical of the spatial layout have begun to appreciate the space and the beauty of the handmade concrete structure.

Key player in Norval Morrisseau forgery ring pleads guilty

James White, a central figure in a long-running forgery ring producing fake artworks by Indigenous Canadian artist Norval Morrisseau, pleaded guilty in Ontario Superior Court to creating forged documents and trafficking forged artworks. White admitted to trafficking 502 fake works, some sold for tens of thousands of dollars. The plea follows a multi-year investigation called Project Totton, led by Inspector Jason Rybak of the Thunder Bay Police Service, which uncovered three large forgery networks operating in Ontario. Two other alleged accomplices, Paul Bremner and Jeffrey Cowan, still face charges, while earlier guilty pleas from David Voss and Gary Lamont resulted in five-year prison sentences.
