LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announced today that Elaine Wynn, co-chair of the board, pledged $50 million to kick off the next phase for the Peter Zumthor-designed permanent collection building. Simultaneously with Wynn’s gift, A. Jerrold Perenchio added a $25 million pledge to his original commitment to LACMA of 47 works of art worth over $500 million. As with Perenchio’s promised gifts of art, these pledges are contingent on the successful launch of the new permanent collection building project.
