This year, the city of Los Angeles has been invited as the fair’s guest of honor – the first municipality to be chosen for this recognition, which is usually bestowed on a country or a region. Both Getty Publications and the Getty Research Institute (GRI) will participate in the fair for the first time. Getty Publications will showcase many recent publications, including a wide selection of Spanish-language titles, and the Getty Research Institute will present the extraordinary exhibition, Julius Shulman’s Los Angeles, which includes 110 rarely seen photographs from the GRI’s Julius Shulman photography archive, which was acquired by the Getty Research Institute in 2005 and contains over 260,000 color and black-and-white negatives, prints, and transparencies. “We are proud to help tell Los Angeles’ story with this powerful exhibition of iconic and also surprising images of the city’s growth,” said Wim de Wit, the GRI’s senior curator of architecture and design.

    DATE: July 09, 2021 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Getty Exhibition

    DATE: July 09, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Getty Exhibition Reassembles Medieval Italian Triptych Paolo Veneziano: Art and Devotion in 14th-Century Venice is the first monographic exhibition on the artist in U.S. The Crucifixion, about 1340-1345 Paolo Veneziano (Italian (Venetian), about 1295 - about 1362) Tempera and gold leaf on panel Unframed: 33.9 × 41.1 cm (13 5/16 × 16 3/16 in.) Framed: 37.2 × 45.4 × 5.7 cm (14 5/8 × 17 7/8 × 2 1/4 in.) National Gallery of Art, Washington, Samuel H. Kress Collection, 1939.1.143 LOS ANGELES - Paolo Veneziano (about 1295–about 1362) was the premier painter in late medieval Venice, producing religious works ranging from large complex altarpieces to small paintings used by Christians for personal devotion. A new exhibition, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center, from July 13 through October 3, 2021, brings together numerous paintings that reveal the delicate beauty and exquisite colors that distinguish Paolo Veneziano’s art. The centerpiece of the show reunites painted panels that originally belonged together but are today housed in different collections. “It is fairly commonplace for museums around the world to own fragments of what were once larger ensembles, dismantled in later centuries for sale on the art market,” explains Timothy Potts, Maria Hummer-Tuttle and Robert Tuttle Director of the J. Paul Getty Museum. “Paolo Veneziano: Art and Devotion in 14th-Century Venice presents a rare exception: a completely intact triptych for personal devotion, on loan from the National Gallery of Parma, Italy. The appearance of this triptych was the basis for the reconstruction of an almost identical triptych, the so-called Worcester triptych, reassembled for the first time in this exhibition.” Portable devotional triptychs, self-supporting and with closable shutters, were regularly made by artists and craftspeople in Venice throughout the fourteenth century.

  • I. Introduction/Summary

    I. Introduction/Summary

    I. INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY A. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is to inform decision-makers and the general public of the potential environmental impacts resulting from the proposed development of the Bundy Village and Medical Park Project (the “proposed project”) site located at 1901, 1925, 1933 South Bundy Drive and 12333 West Olympic Boulevard within the West Los Angeles community of the City of Los Angeles. The project Applicant is Westside Medical Park, LLC, located at 1801 Century Park East, 23rd Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067. A detailed description of the proposed project is included in Section II (Project Description) of this Draft EIR. The proposed project will require certain discretionary approvals by the City of Los Angeles (the “City”) and other governmental agencies. Therefore, the proposed project is subject to environmental review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).1 The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning (the “Planning Department”) is the Lead Agency under CEQA for the proposed project. As described in Sections 15121 (a) and 15362 of the State CEQA Guidelines,2 an EIR is an informational document which will inform public agency decision-makers and the public of the significant environmental effects of a project, identify possible ways to minimize the significant effects, and describe reasonable alternatives to the project. The purpose of this Draft EIR, therefore, is to focus the discussion on those potential environmental effects caused by the proposed project that the Lead Agency has determined may be significant. In addition, feasible mitigation measures are recommended, when applicable, which could reduce or avoid significant environmental impacts.

    Datebook: Shots of Old Route 66, Dreamlike Paintings and Garments Fashioned from Paper

    Datebook: Shots of old Route 66, dreamlike paintings and garments fashioned from paper By CAROLINA A. MIRANDA JUL 12, 2018 | 11:00 AM "Blue Swallow Motel," 1990, by Steve Fitch for “Vanishing Vernacular” at Kopeikin. (Steve Fitch / Kopeikin) A record of roadside vernacular and paintings that explore the intimate and the fantastical. Plus: a butch parade and an art-meets-sports night. Here are nine exhibitions and events to check out in the coming week: latimes.com/entertainment/arts/miranda/la-et-cam-datebook-vanishing-vernacular-steve-fitch-story.html# Steve Fitch, “Vanishing Vernacular,” at Kopeikin Gallery. Fitch, who is known for documenting the American West, takes on the slowly disappearing neon signage and vernacular architecture of the old Route 66 in his latest project “Vanishing Vernacular,” which is both an exhibition and book (published in the spring by George F. Thompson Publishing). For his show at Kopeikin, he gathers images of drive-ins, roadside signage and fancifully- designed motels that once channeled the romance of the open road, but which have now been sidelined by the interstate highway system. Opens Saturday at 6 p.m. and runs through Aug. 25. 2766 S. La Cienega Blvd., Culver City, kopeikingallery.com. Jonny Negron, “Small Map of Heaven,” at Château Shatto. Born in Puerto Rico and based in New York, Negron has long been inspired by the bright colors and sharp lines of comic books and Japanese woodblock prints. But he employs the forms in ways that are resolutely his own, creating intimate scenes that also feature aspects of the fantastical — such as lush landscapes and ghostly figures.
