Full Description
This
new edition of The J. Paul Getty Museum Handbook of the
Collection features over 380 of the museum's most beloved objects.
It has been updated to include numerous exciting new acquisitions-such as
Fire Island by Adger Cowans and Portrait of
Mai ("Omai") by Joshua Reynolds-and presents an overview of
Getty's world-renowned collection and a history of the museum and its famous
founder.
From treasures of the ancient world and medieval
manuscripts to Renaissance drawings, French furniture, Impressionist
paintings, iconic American photographs, and much more, the handbook offers an
indispensable look at the art at both the magnificently reimagined Getty
Villa in Malibu and the dazzling Getty Center on a hilltop in Brentwood.
Whether a regular visitor to the two sites or someone who hasn't yet made the
trip, this richly illustrated and beautifully redesigned volume is a
must-have for any art lover.
