LACMA announced today that it will honor James Turrell at its fifth annual Art + Film gala on November 7, 2015. In 2013, Turrell was the subject of a major 2013 retrospective at the museum. Filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu will also be honored at the gala, co-chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and trustee Eva Chow.
According to the Los Angeles Times, "Last year's gala, which spotlighted Quentin Tarantino and Barbara Kruger, raised about $3.9 million, with proceeds going toward LACMA's film initiatives and future exhibitions, acquisitions and programming."
