History & Criticism

Masterpieces of the J. Paul Getty Museum: Paintings

These lavish volumes feature highlights of five of the collections in the J. Paul Getty Museum. Each volume contains between seventy-five and one hundred objects, handsomely reproduced in full color and described by members of the curatorial staff. Included are many objects that have never before been reproduced, as well as all of the Museum's spectacular new acquisitions--among them, Fra Bartolommeo's Rest on the Flight into Egypt and Cézanne's Still Life with Apples; van der Schardt's small bronze statue Mercury, sculpted in the sixteenth century; Michelangelo's sublime drawing The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist; and Boccaccio's Fates of Illustrious Men and Women, a manuscript magnificently illuminated in France in the fifteenth century. In addition to English, each volume is available in French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish (please see page 00 for information on these editions.) Two additional titles, on photographs and sculpture, will appear next year.

J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM

The Burdens of Wealth: Paul Getty and his Museum

An intimate history of the Getty Museum from its early relatively modest days until it unexpectedly received the endowment that made it the world's wealthiest museum and eventually a private foundation of worldwide influence. Following the death of Getty in 1976 it was necessary to adapt the institution to radically different circumstances and much higher expectations, virtually none of which had been anticipated. This evolution was guided by some of the most prominent managers and historians available, but was also marred by some unfortunate and widely publicized mis-steps that made the transition unusually erratic. Institutional histories are normally written and published by the institutions themselves, with the result that its blunders or mistakes are normally glossed over. The present memoir is meant to be an objective and relatively frank appraisal of the history of this exceptional institution by an early participant in the process.
