Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945–1980, an unprecedented collaboration of organizations all across Southern , concluded in spring 2012 after an exhilarating six months of more than 60 exhibitions at museums throughout the region, over 100 gallery shows, a Performance and Public Art Festival, and dozens of other public programs and activities. Supported by a 10 year series of grants from the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time accomplished its original goals, rescuing the endangered in Los Angeles in the postwar decades, and sharing its stories with the public.

Pacific Standard Time leaves a strong legacy for the future in the form of over 40 books and catalogues, accessible archives, and a wider awareness of the role played by Los Angeles artists in the history of modern art. In addition, the initiative had a significant economic impact on Southern California according to a report prepared by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation. Data gathered during Pacific Standard Time will also serve as a baseline for future studies on the economic impact of the arts.

As we look towards the future, Pacific Standard Time partners are exploring various topics that may serve as the basis for another large regional collaboration several years from now. Meanwhile, to keep the collaborative momentum going, there will be smaller collective programs under the banner of Pacific Standard Time Presents.

Timothy P. Whalen, Director

The Getty Conservation Institute works to advance conservation practice in the visual arts, broadly interpreted to include objects, collections, architecture, and sites. It serves the conservation community through scientific research, education and training, model field projects, and the broad dissemination of the results of both its own work and the work of others in the field. In all its endeavors, the Conservation Institute focuses on the creation and dissemination of knowledge that will benefit the professionals and organizations responsible for the conservation of the world’s cultural heritage.

The Getty Foundation fulfills the philanthropic mission of the Getty Trust by supporting individuals and institutions committed to advancing the greater understanding and preservation of the visual arts in Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through strategic grant initiatives, it strengthens art history as a global discipline, promotes the interdisciplinary practice of conservation, increases access to museum and archival collections, and develops current and future leaders in the visual arts. It carries out its work in collaboration with the other Getty Programs to ensure that they individually and collectively achieve maximum effect.

James Cuno President and CEO, J. Paul Getty Trust Acting Director, J. Paul Getty Museum (February 2–September 1, 2012) The J. Paul Getty Museum seeks to inspire curiosity about, and enjoyment and understanding of, the visual arts by collecting, conserving, exhibiting and interpreting works of art of outstanding quality and historical importance. To fulfill this mission, the Museum continues to build its collections through purchase and gifts, and develops programs of exhibitions, publications, scholarly research, public education, and the performing arts that engage our diverse local and international audiences. All of these activities are enhanced by the uniquely evocative architectural and garden settings provided by the Museum’s two renowned venues: the and the Getty Center.

Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945– 1980, an initiative that involved all four of the Getty’s programs, was realized to great fanfare this year. More than 60 cultural institutions around Southern California took part in this monumental and historical collaboration, which produced exhibitions that were on view from fall 2011 through spring 2012. Along with the accompanying publications, the Pacific Standard Time initiative and the efforts created as a result will have an impact on art-historical dialogues for decades to come. At the Getty Museum, three ambitious exhibitions were presented as part of Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950–1970 curated by the Getty Research Institute: From Start to Finish: Above: Entrance to the conservation and preservation of works of Crosscurrents in L.A.
