It fits perfectly in the Piano designed, intimate, little restaurant. Congratulations to LACMA for interjecting art into their dinning, such a treat.

Where did Renzo Piano and or LACMA purchase the shelving units for the cups?

I agree, the lit-casework housing these mid-century gems is just stunning.

CAn you tell us something about Ellen Palevsky: how she came to be interested in cups, for example. Is her collection limited to 20th century design? When did the museum acquire the collection?

Ray’s looks so vibrant! It will definitely be on my itinerary the next time I’m out west.
