This exhibition required LAPD to work extremely closely with both RFK Architects and the gallery’s curators. The goal of the project was to create a series of spaces that exuded the perfect ambiance in which to view the wide variety of works from the three artists. |
The implemented design creates visual impact throughout the exhibition. This begins right from entry at the Ticket Hall and runs through to the very last exhibition space. Visitors are left with a warm feeling, a sense of wonder and a glow of appreciation. | |

LAPD’s approach was to create ambient lighting levels that are very much lower than gallery guidelines recommend. Using a combination of dimmable luminaires fitted with sculpture lenses and framing heads to capture the artwork, LAPD have created an ambience similar to that in which the paintings were first seen. |
The curators were initially skeptical of our proposals, however, a full size mock up of a gallery demonstrated to them that our solution would work exceptionally well. Record advance tickets sales of 28,000 have been taken for this exhibition. | |
