I didn't take much in the way of photos of the artwork itself, mostly because you are not supposed to. But a few things got into my camera and thus, can be shown.
The first one is a photo of some sculptures out in the central area of the complex. I love the black and white contrast between the granite and the statuary. Very dramatic.
Don't ask me why that one sculpture has 3 scales of sculptures within it. Weird.
This second work is in the main reception area and it is called Woman (or something like that).
I again liked the contrast between the stark white wall and the black statue.
Onward to the third one.
I got in trouble for taking a photo of this one. Thankfully, he did not make me delete it from my camera.
It is a series of photos by Felice Benato, showing a panorama of Peking, China. I thought it was interesting, the way they put different photos together to make this panorama. Unfortunately, the guard saw me take the photo and yelled at me. Oops.
I hope you enjoyed a taste of the many areas of the Getty Center.
I enjoyed taking you around.
Love the photos, thanks for taking the risk and even (gasp!) getting caught.
ReplyDeleteLike Fran, I Love the photo, and I love everything else about the entire day you spent there. Thank you again for the tour. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Benato exhibit is a big deal right now. I have flags out on Sunset Blvd right in front of Children's Hospital, telling people about it. I of course, was totally ignorant of the whole thing until I went. I guess the reason you could not take photos is that these are prints and not paint. I didn't realize that it was an exception to their "no flash but photos OK" rule. Oh well.
