The Burdens of Wealth

Paul Getty and His Museum

By: Burton B. Fredericksen

An intimate history of the Getty Museum from its early relatively modest days until it unexpectedly received the endowment that made it the worlds 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.

Masterpieces of Painting in the J. Paul Getty Museum

Second Edition

By: Burton B. Fredericksen

This second edition of Masterpieces of Painting in the J. Paul Getty Museum contains only thirteen of the paintings previously illustrated, indicating the number of significant acquisitions made by the Museum’s Department of Paintings since 1981. The fifty-three color plates reflect the emphasis that has been given to broadening the scope of the collection. Among the outstanding pictures acquired and featured here are works by Pissarro, Monet, Degas, and Lautrec, as well as masterpieces by Bouts, Mantegna, and Salviati. Each color illustration is accompanied by a text entry that provides both commentary and background information.

Giovanni di Francesco and the Master of Pratovecchio

By: Burton B. Fredericksen

The Getty Museum’s curator of paintings traces the provenance of the so-called Poggibonsi Altarpiece, one of the Museum’s fifteenth-century triptychs, attributing it to Giovanni di Francesco. He also discusses the possible identification of Giovanni as the Master of Pratovecchio and then catalogues works attributed to both painters that form part of other museum collections.

English Language Edition: Fourth Edition

By: Denise Allen,Dawson Carr,Charlotte Eyeman,Burton Fredericksen,Jennifer Helvey,David Jaffé,Arianne Faber Kolb,Jon L. Seydl,Perrin Stein,Anne Woollett

Typical of the High Renaissance are Andrea Mantegna's splendid Adoration of the Magi and Fra Bartolommeo's Rest on the Flight into Egypt. The art of the Netherlands in its Golden Age is represented by Jan Brueghel's much-loved painting The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark and by The Return from War, which he painted with Peter Paul Rubens, as well as a newly acquired and magnificent landscape by Hobbema, Rembrandt's Abduction of Europa, and Jan Steen's Drawing Lesson. Painting in France ranges from recently acquisitioned works by Poussin, Fragonard, and Lancret, through the Impressionism of Monet's seminal Sunrise and his Rouen Cathedral, while the modern age is exemplified by the Irises of Vincent van Gogh. Fernand Khnopff's Jeanne Kéfer, and Cézanne's Still Life with Apples.

Masterpieces of Painting in the J. Paul Getty Museum

First Edition

By: Burton B. Fredericksen

J. Paul Getty began collecting Old Master paintings in the 1930s. He founded his Malibu museum in the early 1950s and continued to contribute to its collections until his death. As he left the museum generously endowed, major works of art have continued to be acquired. Mr. Getty’s personal preferences inclined toward Renaissance and Baroque painting of the Italian and Netherlandish schools, with some excursions into the art movements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The masterpieces reproduced here show the care which he and the museum trustees have devoted to the formation of a new museum’s collection. The J. Paul Getty Museum’s new building was opened to the public in January 1974. It is a replica of the Villa dei Papiri excavated at Herculaneum and provides a spectacular setting for the collection of classical antiquities. The paintings collection is housed in more conventional galleries on the second floor.
