Recent Acquisitions in Focus: Latent Narratives
GETTY CENTER
The Getty Center
Presenting photographs by William Leavitt, Liza Ryan, Fazal Sheikh, and Whitney Hubbs, this exhibition features multipart works that juxtapose images of people, places, and things in fragmentary, enigmatic narratives. When sequenced by the artist in a specific order, the images recall storyboards used for motion pictures or animation; when excerpted from a larger series, they suggest a stream-of-consciousness meditation on a theme. On view at the Getty Museum for the first time since acquired, many of the works were donated or purchased with funds provided by donors to the Museum.
