Nine collection artworks set the scale of LACMA’s Atlantic Ocean tour. Its announced range includes ancient ceramics from Panama and Colombia and Todd Gray’s 2025 commission, Octavia’s Gaze, within one section of the David Geffen Galleries.
Opened in 2026, the David Geffen Galleries are divided into four sections. LACMA presents that organization as a way to look for visual and thematic relationships among works from different eras and places. This tour stays in the Atlantic Ocean section rather than attempting a museum-wide survey.
The tour covers nine works from LACMA’s collection. Among the examples named in the listing are ancient ceramics from Panama and Colombia and Todd Gray’s Octavia’s Gaze (2025), a new commission.
