Representing a collaborative effort between the Contemporary Art and Prints and Drawings departments, Drawing in the Expanded Dimension is a project featuring young French artists, Petra Mrzyk and Jean-François Moriceau, who will present an ephemeral and site-specific drawing installation inspired by a selection of works by the 19th century Belgian artist, Félicien Rops. These will be drawn from LACMA’s permanent collection.

This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and made possible by the Contemporary Projects Endowment Fund. Contributors to the fund include Mr. and Mrs. Eric Lidow, Ronnie and Vidal Sassoon, Steve Martin, the Broad Art Foundation, Bob Crewe, Tony and Gail Ganz, Ansley I. Graham Trust, Peter Norton Family Foundation, Barry and Julie Smooke, and Sandra and Jacob Y. Terner.
