Opening | Olmec Heads: Colossoal Masterworks of Ancient Mexico
October 2, 2010–January 9, 2011
Resnick Pavilion
Olmec civilization, which began sometime around 1400 BC, was centered in the Gulf Coast states of Veracruz and Tabasco. Olmec architects and artists produced the earliest monumental structures and sculptures in Mexico, including enormous basalt portrait heads—weighing up to twenty-four tons—of their rulers.
This exhibition will be the first presentation on the West Coast of the colossal works and precious small-scale sculptures produced by Mexico's earliest civilization.
This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco with the collaboration of the Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes-Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia de México. This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

Weekend Film Series | Cries and Whispers: The Psychological Cinema of Ingmar Bergman
September 10–September 18
Bing Theater
Ingmar Bergman is a towering figure in postwar European culture, best known internationally for the more than 60 dramas he wrote and directed for film and television between 1948 and 2003. In his native Sweden he is equally revered as a powerful stage director whose life-long position at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm provided him with a creative outlet between films, and access to such legendary actors as Max von Sydow, Bibi Andersson, Ingrid Thulin, Erland Josephson, and Liv Ullmann, all of whom appeared in ten or more Bergman films. Though a self-proclaimed intellectual who craved solitude, Bergman remained Sweden's preeminent celebrity for decades.
This series, presented in conjunction with a major exhibition of Bergman's scripts, diaries, and notebooks at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, examines the biographical and psychological underpinnings of Bergman's legendary work through The Magic Flute, The Seventh Seal, Fanny and Alexandar, and more.
Tickets: $7 for LACMA members, seniors (62+), and students with valid ID; $10 general admission. Pre-purchase your ticket by visiting the museum box office, calling 323 857-6010, or clicking here.
This series is made possible with support from the Consulate General of Sweden, and with the collaboration and cooperation of the Swedish Institute, the Swedish Film Institute, and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

Sunday Matinee | David Hockney—A Bigger Picture
Sunday, September 12 | 2:00 pm
See Bruno Wollheim's award-winning documentary about David Hockney. Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, the film captures Hockney's return to England after living for many years in Southern California. As he approached the age of 70, the artist reinvents his painting, working through the seasons and in all weather out in the Yorkshire countryside near his childhood home. The film is at once the story of any unusual homecoming and also an intimate portrait of what inspires Hockney. Wollheim, whose earlier film Hockney: Double Portrait, also garnered rave reviews, is a noted British filmmaker and documentarian.
