I wonder if Ms. Resnick was a bit bothered by the contrast of the plain concrete floors mixed in with the traditional, formal style of the walls in “Eye for the Sensual” and, of course, the art objects in her collection? I’m guessing the designers did that purposefully to symbolize a sort of deconstructionist, honest hipness of the new Pavilion. But if that also allowed the cost of the exhibit’s design to be reduced — and I’m sure it did — so much the better.

Regrettably, the plain concrete floors (as a substitute for, say, parquet) looked to me like LACMA ran out of money at the last minute. That’s also the feeling I get whenever I walk through the relatively new BP entryway.

More fundraising appears to be necessary.
