Burning Oil Sludge North of Denver, Colorado, Robert Adams, 1973

|
|
|
"Art reengages us with life," says Robert Adams, whose photographs capture moments of sublime beauty in the increasingly industrialized American West.
Like Courbet's paintings of the French countryside, Adams' views of main streets, tract houses, trees, and waterways convey a powerful sense of place. They inspire hope even as they document environmental damage and moments of alienation.
Get involved with a gallery course on landscape on March 12 and 19 or a lecture on key photographs in the exhibition on March 23.

Do we erase history when we rebuild monuments after the fires of war? Berlin art historian Gabi Dolff-Bonekämper discusses this question with a focus on three reconstructed European icons—Goethe's house in Frankfurt, the Mostar Bridge in Bosnia, and the Frauenkirche in Dresden. Learn how politics and nostalgia combined with a desire for reconciliation to bring back these vanished monuments.

Getty Conservation Institute Chief Scientist Giacomo Chiari has spent 25 years studying the hidden structures of art, from the pigments of pre-Columbian murals to the structure of ancient tower houses in Yemen. In this lecture, "Science and Conservation of Cultural Heritage: Michelangelo to Bonampak or Lapis Lazuli to Maya Blue," Chiari discusses how advances in conservation science are helping to preserve objects of cultural heritage across the world, including Michelangelo's Last Judgment and murals painted with the intriguing ancient pigment known as Maya Blue.
Free; reservations required.

The Pyramids of Giza from the Southwest, Francis Frith, 1858
|
|
|
Egyptology was born in 1822 with the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Less than two decades later, the invention of the camera brought the first photographs of this far-off land to curious Europeans and helped transform Egyptology from antiquarian pastime to scientific study.
Find out about this fascinating train of events from photographic historian Kathleen Stewart Howe in a lecture complementing the exhibition Antiquity & Photography: Early Views of Ancient Mediterranean Sites. The exhibition will be open until 8:00 p.m. on the evening of the lecture.
Free; reservations required. Reservations available beginning Thursday, February 23, at 9:00 a.m.
