For all those weekend art lovers out there, Lacma and the artist collective Random International made a fitting tribute to the late recording artist Prince by turning their popular Rain Room installation a fetching shade of violet. Fans of His Highness shared snaps of themselves on Instagram underneath the Purple Rain. The singer died suddenly on Thursday 21 April, aged 57. Random International tweeted Lacma with a request to change the lighting in their installation and the museum agreed to do it on Saturday. “It was humbling to be able to express our own sorrow so directly, thanks to Lacma,” the artists told the design blog Dezeen. “That seems to have resonated with the public.”
