Join us for an armchair visit to the superb collections of the Getty in Los Angeles, an institution that collects works on paper in different ways and in different parts of its campus. We begin our visit with Emily Beeny, the J. Paul Getty Museum’s associate curator of Drawings, before she hands off to Naoko Takahatake, curator of Prints and Drawings at the Getty Research Institute, one of the world’s greatest scholarly centers for visual culture. Emily and Naoko introduce the history and shape of their respective collections and we’ll learn about how the Museum and GRI collect in different, yet complementary, ways and the reasons why they do, as well as hear about the questions they ask about the scope of their own collections.
