LACMA Announces Winter Exhibitions Featuring New Acquisitions by Monet and Van Gogh
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents two winter exhibitions celebrating the layered histories of its Impressionist and Postimpressionist art holdings. Collecting Impressionism at LACMA opens December 21, 2025 and runs through January 3, 2027, featuring newly acquired works including The Artist’s Garden, Vétheuil (1881) by Claude Monet and Tarascon Stagecoach (1888) by Vincent van Gogh. Village Square: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman Collection to the Brooklyn Museum, LACMA, and MoMA runs February 22 to July 5, 2026. Collecting Impressionism is curated by Leah Lehmbeck with David Bardeen; Village Square is curated by Alex Kaczenski.
The Signal
The exhibitions underscore ongoing donor generosity that continues to expand LACMA’s European painting holdings and signal institutional priorities in building depth within Impressionist and Modern art. For collectors and curators, the first Van Gogh acquisition and recent Monet addition illustrate how private gifts shape canonical public collections, while the Pearlman transfers across three museums reflect wider patterns of estate philanthropy distributing works to multiple institutions.
