MONUMENTality
Through April 21, 2019 | The Getty Center
Architectural photographer Lane Barden's
Linear City portfolio captures the expansive sprawl of Los Angeles via three major arteries throughout the city: the Los Angeles River, the Alameda supply corridor, and Wilshire Boulevard. Shot from a helicopter, Barden's images are a monumental visual tool for examining how Los Angeles functions, how it has grown over time, and why the city looks the way it does via water, rail, and automobile. This series is on display as part of the exhibition
MONUMENTality.
Gallery tours are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. through April 18.
