Breaking News: Turning the Lens on Mass Media
December 20, 2016–April 30, 2017 | The Getty Center
Beginning
in the 1960s, artists increasingly turned to news media—both printed
and televised—as a rich source of inspiration. This exhibition presents
work by artists who have employed appropriation, juxtaposition, and
mimicry, among other means, to create photographs and videos that
effectively comment on the role of the news media in determining the
meaning of images.

The Alchemy of Color in Medieval Manuscripts
Through January 1, 2017 | The Getty Center
During
the Middle Ages, the vibrant color we appreciate today for its
aesthetic qualities was also understood for its material, scientific,
and medicinal properties. The manufacturing of colored pigments and inks
was part of the science of alchemy, the forerunner of modern chemistry.
This exhibition presents current research into the materials used to
produce the sumptuous colors that enliven manuscript pages and reveals a
rainbow of hues derived from plants, minerals, and metals.

Drawing: The Art of Change
Through January 1, 2017 | The Getty Center
More
than any other medium, drawing conveys the evolution of artistic ideas
with great immediacy. Drawing sheets often bear traces—crossed-out
lines, repositioned figures, cut and pasted forms—of an artist's change
of mind during the creative process. Drawn entirely from the Getty's
permanent collection, the works in this exhibition showcase the crucial
role revision plays in artistic practice.

The Shimmer of Gold: Giovanni di Paolo in Renaissance Siena
Through January 8, 2017 | The Getty Center
Giovanni
di Paolo was a master at creating magical effects through his use of
gold and paint on panel and parchment in early Renaissance Siena. This
exhibition reunites several panels from one of his most important
commissions—an altarpiece for the Branchini family chapel in the church
of San Domenico in Siena—for the first time in modern history, and
presents illuminated manuscripts and paintings by Giovanni and his close
collaborators and contemporaries.

The Art of Alchemy
Through February 12, 2017 | The Getty Center
Alchemy
was the precursor to modern chemistry and has influenced artistic
practice from antiquity through the modern age. Alchemists may be
notorious for attempting to make synthetic gold, but their goals were
far more ambitious: to harness the powers of creation and transform
natural matter into the man-made materials of synthetic artifice. Drawn
primarily from the collections of the Getty Research Institute and the
Getty Museum, this exhibition examines the legacy of alchemy in today's
world.

Roman Mosaics across the Empire
Through January 1, 2018 | The Getty Villa
Roman
decor was unique for the elaborate mosaic floors that transformed
entire rooms into spectacular settings of vibrant color, figural
imagery, and geometric design. Scenes from classical mythology, daily
life, the natural world, and spectacles reflected the cultural ambitions
of wealthy patrons. Drawn primarily from the Getty Museum's collection,
this exhibition presents the artistry of mosaics, as well as the
contexts of their discovery across Rome's expanding empire.
