LACMA launches online reading room for rare art publications

 The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is giving the general public an unprecedented peek into its trove of rare and out-of-print art publications through a new mini-site that was officially announced today.

Dubbed the "Reading Room," the new site is intended to make books, catalogs and other literature available that would otherwise be difficult to access, according to LACMA. The museum said that the site currently features 10 rare art catalogs, including "Six More," the catalog for LACMA’s 1963 exhibition on L.A. pop; "Billy Al Bengston," a rare 1968 monograph; and the surveys "Late Fifties at the Ferus" (1968).

Among the features of the site are the ability to browse the publications page by page, perform text searches and  download the volumes in PDF format.

Next up will be a series of LACMA catalog tied to the April exhibition "Myths, Legends, and Cultural Renewal: Wagner’s Sources," which is timed to coincide with the Los Angeles Opera’s presentation of the controversial composer’s Ring cycle.
