Convergences: Selected Photographs from the Permanent Collection
The Getty Center, California, Los Angeles, 07/08/2014 - 10/19/2014
ABOUT
The Getty Museum's ever-growing collection of photographs celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. This exhibition gives viewers the opportunity to see new additions that reveal points of intersection with works already owned by the museum.
Convergences is inspired by the book of essays, Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences, in which author Lawrence Weschler explores visual associations between images of wide-ranging content and uncovers “uncanny moments of convergence…”
By juxtaposing contemporary and historical photographs, this exhibition proposes convergences between disparate works. Whether related by direct influence or visual affinities of a more tenuous nature, these groupings reveal the rich diversity of approaches to subjects that have engaged photographers for more than a century, while underscoring a sense of continuity throughout the history of the medium.
