Gifts under $50

Pegasus Vessel Ornament

$19.95

An unusual scene decorates the neck amphora that inspired the adaptation for this ornament: on one side a winged horse, perhaps Pegasus, is shown in profile to the left, with its wings spread as if ascending or landing. On the reverse is a nude youth holding a morsel of food for a long-tailed cat leaping up with its forelegs extended to snatch the tempting treat.

Porcelain Ornament - Van Gogh Irises

$19.95

Porcelain medallion ornament featuring a detail of Vincent van Gogh’s Irises in the Museum’s Paintings collection.

Murano Glass Bird

$30

This charming Murano glass bird is created using the lampworking technique. A torch or lamp is primarily used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. Each bird is individually created and unique.

Getty x OuiSi: Art Cards with Creative Games

$35

Getty x OuiSi is a set of 210 Art Cards from the Getty Museum collection, with a guidebook full of creative games and activities. Each Art Card displays a close-up of an artistic element found in a museum artwork, from Van Gogh’s Irises to items never before on display. On the back of each Art Card, you’ll find a full picture of the artwork, as well as a QR code that links to a unique page online. There, players can learn more about each artwork and artist.

Behold Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons

$45

María Magdalena Campos-Pons (b. 1959) makes powerful work that holds and beholds the stories of historically silenced peoples and urges societal change. Her journey as an artist, teacher, and activist has taken her from Cuba through the United States, and her autobiographical compositions honor her Nigerian and Chinese ancestors while also facing the future. With an artistic practice that crosses boundaries, intertwines media—from photography to sculpture, film to performance—and references traditions and beliefs ranging from feminism to Santería, Campos-Pons’s work is deeply layered and complex.

Gifts under $100

Rodney Smith: A Leap of Faith

$65

This lavish volume features nearly 200 reproductions of Smith’s images—many that have never before been published—and weaves together a biocritical essay by Getty Museum curator Paul Martineau and a technical assessment of Smith’s production by the Center for Creative Photography’s chief curator, Rebecca A. Senf. It maps Smith’s creative trajectory—including his introduction to photography, early personal projects, teaching, commissioned pieces, and career in fashion—and provides insight into his personal life and character, contextualizing his work and creative tendencies within his privileged but lonely upbringing and complex emotional and psychological makeup. Rodney Smith is the definitive record of the life’s work and worldview of a truly original artist.

Madonna and Child with Musical Angels Panel Reproduction

$75

Detail reproduction of the 15th century painting, Madonna and Child with Musical Angels by Gherardo Starnina (Master of the Bambino Vispo) in the Getty Museum’s collection. Handmade in Italy exclusively for Getty by skilled artisans using craft techniques of the oldest Florentine traditions, including gilding–a decorative application of thin sheets of gold leaf, and tooling–where patterns of intricate marks are punched into the surface of the panel.

Glass Mounted Warrior Coin Motif Pendant Necklace

$80

This handcrafted glass jewelry collection, by Michael Michaud, features motifs from an assortment of coins in the Getty Museum’s antiquities collection. Each piece captures the exquisite detail in vibrant cast glass, showcasing the original artistic quality of each ancient coin. Made exclusively for the Getty Museum.

Gifts under $200
