Mapping Space: Recent Acquisitions in FocusUta Barth, Robert Kinmont, Mark Ruwedel, and Wang Jinsong use photography to describe natural and built environments through unspecifi ed modes of measurement and intuitive use of perspective. Infl uenced by the legacy of Conceptualism, a movement that gained popularity in the 1960s, these works emphasize each maker’s personal relationships with the chosen sites.

February 26–July 14, 2019Museum, Center for Photographs, West Pavilion

Oscar Rejlander: Artist Photographer Often referred to as the “father of art photography,” Oscar G. Rejlander has been praised for his early experiments with combination printing; for his collaboration with Charles Darwin; and for his infl uence on the work of Julia Margaret Cameron and Lewis Carroll. This groundbreaking exhibition is the fi rst major retrospective on Rejlander, highlighting new research and a selection of works brought together for the fi rst time.

March 12–June 9, 2019Museum, Center for Photographs, West Pavilion

Encore: Reenactment in Contemporary Photography The restaging of past events presents an opportunity for contemporary photographers to highlight underrepresented stories and to critique established narratives. This exhibition brings together works by artists Eileen Cowin, Christina Fernandez, Samuel Fosso, Yasumasa Morimura, Yinka Shonibare MBE, Gillian Wearing, and Qiu Zhijie, all of whom have utilized reenactment in their respective practices. Organized into three topics—personal history, political history, and art history—the works showcase very different approaches to engaging with the past.

OPENING AT THE GETTY CENTER

Marks of Collaboration: Drawings in ContextCentered on the Museum’s recently acquired design for a painted glass window by Christoph Murer, this installation explores the ways in which 16th-century Swiss designers and glass painters communicated with each other through drawings. With a selection of fi ve works, the display investigates how visual and textual information provided by designers guided the execution of paintings on glass. Visitors can uncover the designers’ cues and grasp how these two sorts of artists worked together so successfully.

February 5–April 14, 2019Museum, West Pavilion

Pontormo: Miraculous EncountersAt the end of the 1520s, during the siege that brought the last Florentine Republic to an end, the painter Jacopo da Pontormo created one of his most moving and innovative altarpieces, the Visitation. Recent conservation has created the extraordinary opportunity for the work to travel from Carmignano (near Florence) to the United States. This exhibition presents Pontormo’s spectacular painting alongside its preparatory drawing and two exceptional portraits painted during the same tumultuous period. Organized by the Gallerie degli Uffi zi, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Morgan Library & Museum.

Paul Getty Museum, explores the detective work that unlocks (some of) the mysteries in the fi eld of Italian Renaissance drawings.

Sunday, March 3, 3:00 p.m.Getty Center: Museum Lecture Hall

Did Truth Ever Matter?Is the idea of “fake news” a new problem, or itself “fake news”? In the early 18th century Jonathan Swift wrote in Gulliver’s Travels, “Falsehood fl ies, and the truth comes limping after it.” And lies, slander, and libel were central features of politics, public discourse, and other human enterprises long before Swift. How did previous generations deal with the prevalence and power of falsehoods? How does art, by embodying a different kind of truth, serve as both a party to and a shield against lies? Moderated by journalist Sandy Banks. Panelists include Lee McIntyre, author of Post-Truth, and Jennifer Kavanagh, coauthor of Rand Corporation’s Truth Decay.

Wednesday, March 13, 7:30 p.m.Getty Center: Harold M. Williams Auditorium

Pontormo: Portraiture in an Age of AnxietyDavide Gasparotto, paintings curator at the J.
