Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient AmericasGolden Kingdoms, a major international loan exhibition featuring more than 250 masterpieces, traces the development of luxury arts in the Americas from about 1000 BC to the arrival of Europeans in the early sixteenth century.

Recent investigation into the historical, cultural, social, and political conditions under which such works were produced and circulated has led to new ways of thinking about materials, luxury, and the visual arts from a global perspective.

The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930Over the course of a century of rapid urban growth, sociopolitical upheavals and cultural transitions reshaped the architectural landscapes of major cities in Latin America. Focusing on six capitals—Buenos Aires, Havana, Lima, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago de Chile—the exhibition presents the colonial city as a terrain shaped by Iberian urban regulations, and the republican city as an arena of negotiation of previously imposed and newly imported models, which were later challenged by waves of local revivals. Photographs, prints, plans, and maps depict the urban impact of key societal and economic transformations, including the emergence of a bourgeois elite, extensive infrastructure projects, rapid industrialization, and commercialization.

September 16, 2017–January 7, 2018Getty Research Institute, Galleries I and II

Photography in Argentina, 1850–2010: Contradiction and ContinuityFrom its independence in 1810 until the economic crisis of 2001, Argentina has been perceived as a modern country with a powerful economic system, a massive European immigrant population, an especially strong middle class, and an almost nonexistent indigenous culture. This idea of a homogenous and progressive society underlines the difference between Argentina and its neighbors. Comprising three hundred works by sixty artists, this exhibition examines crucial periods and aesthetic movements in which photography had a critical role, producing—and, at times, dismantling—national constructions, utopian visions, and avant-garde artistic trends.

September 16, 2017–January 28, 2018Museum, Center for Photographs, West Pavilion

Making Art Concrete: Works from Argentina and Brazil in the Colección Patricia Phelps de CisnerosCombining art historical and scientific analysis, experts from the Getty Conservation Institute and Getty Research Institute have collaborated with the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, to examine the formal strategies and material choices of avant-garde painters and sculptors in Argentina and Brazil associated with the concrete art movement. These works of geometric abstraction, created between 1946 and 1962, are presented alongside information on how the artists pioneered new techniques and materials.

Off the 405Off the 405 is the Getty Center’s annual outdoor summer concert series, bringing some of today’s most exciting bands to the stage for a memorable experience amid stunning architecture and breathtaking sunset views.

Steve GunnAcclaimed New York-based Steve Gunn brings guitar-forward rock to the courtyard stage in his signature blend of country blues, underground, and psych. His continually unfolding compositions have evolved through numerous notable friendships and collaborations with musicians like Kurt Vile, Meg Baird, Lee Ranaldo, and British legend Michael Chapman. Guitarist James Elkington performs a special opening set.

Saturday, July 29, 6:00–9:00 p.m.Getty Center: Museum Courtyard

Savoy MotelThis Nashville quartet is heavily steeped in a 1970s nostalgia with a sound built on classic and glam rock, disco, and southern boogie, but they channel the decade through the lens of the early ‘90s, combining the aloof irreverence of Royal Trux and the swagger of Beck’s Midnite Vultures, resulting in irresistible psych-funk grooves.

Saturday, August 26, 6:00–9:00 p.m.Getty Center: Museum Courtyard

Sonorama! Latin American Composers in Hollywood Since the birth of Hollywood, composers and musicians from across Latin America have played key roles in shaping the music of film and television made in Los Angeles.

TALKS

Choreography of the City: Hans Scharoun’s Philharmonie as a Landscape of the MindDespite striking differences, Los Angeles and Berlin have many commonalities. Both have large, diverse populations, and share a public perception that has been shaped by music and film. The most unexpected connection between them resides in two buildings for music performances – Berlin’s Philharmonie (1963), and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles (2003). The key to this affinity is the architect Hans Scharoun (1893–1972), whose Philharmonie reinvented architecture from three archaic forms – the mountain, the cave, and the tent. This talk will be led by Kurt W. Forster, a professor from the Yale School of Architecture and founding director of the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities.

Wednesday, July 12, 7:00 p.m. Getty Center: Museum Lecture Hall

In Conversation: Frank Gehry and Kurt W. Foster As a born storyteller, architect Frank Gehry casts his ideas into anecdotal form. A man of vast experience and boundless spirit, he teaches by example, disarms with candid views, and charms with sensitivity and wit. In this conversation, Kurt W. Forster (Visiting Professor of the History of Architecture, Yale School of Architecture, and founding director of the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities, 1984, now the Getty Research Institute) and Frank Gehry explore the architectural differences and similarities between Berlin and Los Angeles.

Imperial Radiance: Luxury Arts in the Land of the IncasJoanne Pillsbury, of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, explores the development of luxury culture in the ancient Andes, from the earliest ornaments in gold created over 3,000 years ago in Peru, to the spectacular achievements of artists in the royal courts of the Inca, including Machu Picchu.
