A Museum in Waiting: Frank Ockenfels 3 on LACMA’s Evolving Architecture”

Frank Ockenfels 3 recently paid a visit to the new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA—capturing the museum in a rare and raw state before its official opening and before any artwork graced the walls.

With no art yet installed, the focus shifts entirely to the architecture itself. Designed by Peter Zumthor, the building’s sweeping curves and elevated design offer a modern and unconventional take on the traditional museum space. Frank’s images spotlight the interplay of concrete, glass, and shadow—letting the form and structure speak for themselves.

This quiet moment before the galleries come to life offers a unique perspective—one that emphasizes shape, space, and anticipation.
