Robert Polidori: 20 Photographs of the Getty Museum, 1997
GETTY CENTER
West Pavilion, Lower Level
This is a past event
Acclaimed photographer Robert Polidori (Canadian-French-American, born 1951), known for his images of architecture and human habitats, created a series of images of the Getty Center shortly before the opening of the multipurpose complex in 1997. Organized to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Center, this exhibition features captivating behind-the-scenes views of the building and the new galleries as objects from J. Paul Getty's painting, sculpture, and decorative arts collections were being installed in the Museum.
