Celebrating the quality and diversity of Kertész's long career in
photography, this exhibition comprises approximately 55 prints drawn from
the Getty's collection, that the artist made in Hungary, France, and the
United States, where he lived for 40 years.
This exhibition is organized
chronologically and geographically, beginning in Hungary, where Kertész
was born in 1894 and made his first photograph in 1912, then moving to
rare small prints made in Paris, where he emigrated in 1925. The final
section presents photographs made in New York, where he lived and worked
from 1936 until his death in 1985.

The Goat's Dance: Photographs by Graciela Iturbide
The work of Mexico City photographer Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942) is
featured in a show of about 140 prints drawn from a combination of
sources, including the Getty Museum's holdings, the collection of Daniel
Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser, and the artist's own archives.
Not
strictly a retrospective of the photographer's career, this exhibition
highlights Iturbide's work with surviving indigenous communities in
southern Mexico (such as the Zapotec Indians of Juchitán and the Mixtec
Indians of Huajuapan), outsider immigrant groups in East Los Angeles (like
members of the White Fence and Maravilla gangs), and those struggling at
La Frontera, the U.S./Mexico border. Concentrating on this international
artist's North American pictures, it examines her more recent landscape
studies from the American South as well as Mexico, and presents images
from Iturbide's native city created almost 40 years.
