GETTY CENTER
North Pavilion, Plaza Level
This is a past event
In Dialogue is a series of temporary installations in the Museum’s collection galleries. Inspired by points of visual symmetry between works, this rotation places modern and contemporary portraits by six international photographers in conversation with European paintings and sculpture created before 1900. Through compelling and sometimes unexpected juxtapositions, In Dialogue invites visitors to explore diverse approaches to portraiture and see both historical and contemporary works anew.
In this rotation, look for photographs by Ananké Asseff, Rineke Dijkstra, Nan Goldin, Issei Suda, Hiroshi Watanabe, and Carrie Mae Weems in the North, East, South, and West Pavilions.
