Paintings by Van Gogh and Renoir from the Kröller-Müller Museum in The Netherlands are now yours for the viewing at the Getty Center.
These rare loans are the latest graduates of the J. Paul Getty Museum's Conservation Partnership Program, which restores fragile works of art from around the world, free of charge, in exchange for the chance to share them with visitors to the Getty Center.
A third painting, a spectacular portrait by French symbolist Henri Fantin-Latour, will go on view on October 18.
Learn more about these paintings and how they were conserved.

Desperation on the streets of New York in The Naked City, showing October 15
|
|
|
Hoodlums, street urchins, and reformers clash on the streets of New York City in Dead End Kids: New York Crime Films 1915–1948, a film series inspired by the hard-bitten tabloid photographs in Scene of the Crime: Photo by Weegee.
From silent melodrama to nihilist noir, these four films—Regeneration, Dead End, Angels with Dirty Faces, and The Naked City—wield celluloid as a weapon for social change.

Alexander the Great and Campaspe in the Studio of Apelles, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, about 1740
None of Apelles' works survive—will modern art meet the same fate?
|
|
|
Modern artists have made art out of everything from papier-mâché to light bulbs. Some have even crafted works deliberately designed to rot, crumble, or blow away.
How should conservators approach contemporary art? Should we preserve art that is meant to disappear? Join MoMA's chief conservator Jim Coddington for Pondering Apelles: Conservation Approaches to Modern and Contemporary Art, a look at current theories behind modern art conservation.
