For this first major American presentation of the chiaroscuro woodcut, The Chiaroscuro Woodcut in Renaissance Italy brings together some 100 rare works alongside related drawings, engravings, and sculpture.

Opening June 24, To Rome and Back: Individualism and Authority in Art, 1500–1800 is assembled from LACMA's permanent collection, including painting, sculpture, costume and textile, and decorative arts, and reveals the depth of Rome's impact from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. Member Previews for this exhibition are June 21–23.

This visually thrilling exhibition opens July 15, with Member Previews on July 12–14.

Robert Rauschenberg, Currents (detail), 1970, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, gift of the 2012 Collectors Committee, with additional funds provided by Gail and Tony Ganz © Robert Rauschenberg Foundation

Rauschenberg: In and About L.A. highlights Los Angeles's indelible impact on Robert Rauschenberg's creative output. Although Rauschenberg was born in Texas and lived primarily in New York and Florida, Southern California played a pivotal role in his artistic development. Not only was his first visit to an art museum in Los Angeles, which prompted his decision to become an artist, but he also created some of his most groundbreaking works here. This exhibition opens on August 11.

We look forward to welcoming you to the museum for a summer filled with art!
