The much anticipated new LACMA building, designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, crosses Wilshire Boulevard for the first time. In this free flowing space, art is grouped around four bodies of water: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea, this configuration highlighting the architect's unique perspective.
Los Angeles Times art critic Leah Ollman’s review of iconic art on display
Los Angeles Times art critic Leah Ollman identifies Wayne's White Tidal Wave as one of "17 must-see works" amongst the 3,000 on exhibit. In Ollman's words, Wayne's waves are "odes to monumental tidal energy."
Growing up in Chicago observing Lake Michigan, Wayne from a young age was fascinated by the power and unpredictability of water. Please enjoy our video conversation with the artist in her Tamarind Studio in 2011, evidencing her unparalleled passion and skill as a visionary printmaker and artist.
