The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hosted its 11th annual Art+Film Gala on November 5, 2022, honoring artist Helen Pashgian and filmmaker Park Chan-wook and featuring a special performance by Elton John. More than 650 notable guests from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries attended the event, which was co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio. This year’s gala raised more than $5.1 million to support LACMA’s efforts to make film more central to the museum’s curatorial programming, as well as LACMA’s broader mission. Gucci, which has partnered with LACMA since the first Art+Film Gala in 2011, returned as presenting sponsor of this year’s event. Additional support for the gala was provided by Audi.

Renowned artists, distinguished guests, and luminaries from the film, fashion, music, and entertainment industries arrived at the Art+Film Gala’s red carpet adjacent to Chris Burden’s Urban Light (2008) on Wilshire Boulevard. Guests enjoyed an outdoor cocktail reception and DJ set by the legendary Derrick “D­Nice” Jones. Following cocktails, guests moved into the Art+Film pavilion overlooking Michael Heizer’s Levitated Mass (2012) for a special dinner by chef Mattia Agazzi of Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura in Beverly Hills, in collaboration with chef Joachim Splichal.
