Italian Illuminated Manuscripts in the J. Paul Getty Museum (Getty Trust Publications: J. Paul Getty Museum)
Price: $14.96
Author: Thomas Kren
Manufacturer: Getty Publications
The Getty Museum inaugurates a new series of affordable publications that introduce the public to the richness of its holdings in illuminated manuscripts. The first in the series features Italian manuscript illumination from the ninth to the sixteenth centuries. This volume showcases full-color reproductions of masterpieces by Niccolo da Bologna, Pisanello, Girolamo da Cremona, Taddeo Crivelli, Giovanni di Paolo, Matteo da Milano, Antonio da Monza, and the Master of Gerona, among a number of Italy's finest illuminators. The selection includes multiple illuminations from such sumptuous volumes as the Montecassino Breviary, the Gualenghi-d'Este Hours, the Missal of the Anti-Pope John XXIII, and the recently discovered Orsini Missal, along with exceptional leaves from the celebrated choirbooks of Santa Maria degli Angeli, Florence, and from the laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese, Florence.

The J. Paul Getty Museum Handbook of the Collections (Getty Trust Publications, J. Paul Getty Museum)
Average Rating: 4.0
Price: $13.22
Manufacturer: Getty Publications
This revised and updated J. Paul Getty Museum Handbook of the Collections includes many major objects that recently have been added to the collections, as well as the more familiar masterpieces frequent visitors have become acquainted with over the years from the antiquities, drawings, manuscripts, paintings, photographs, and sculpture and decorative arts holdings. Among the notable new accessions is a major collection of modern and contemporary sculpture, a 2005 gift from the Fran and Ray Stark Trust. Moreover, the new edition of the Handbook marks the historic moment at which the Museum commences operating on two sites simultaneously--the dazzling Getty Center on a hilltop in Brentwood and the magnificently re-imagined Getty Villa in Malibu, devoted to Western antiquities. Readers who have not been among the millions of visitors to the two sites will find this Handbook an inducement for paying a visit; for those who have seen the collections, it will help them recall the experience and enrich their recollection.

The J. Paul Getty Museum Handbook of the Antiquities Collection (Getty Trust Publications: J. Paul Getty Museum)
Average Rating: 4.0
Price: $22.95
Manufacturer: Getty Publications
J. Paul Getty bought his first classical antiquity—a small terracotta sculpture—at auction in London in 1939. Over the next four decades, he became a passionate collector, and in the 1950s he created a trust for "the diffusion of artistic and general knowledge." Building on that early foundation, successive antiquities curators at the Getty Museum have amassed a collection that now contains more than fifty thousand ancient objects. In lively prose accompanied by a full-color photograph of each object, this handbook of the antiquities collection presents nearly two hundred of the Getty Museum's most important pieces, including J. Paul Getty's most prized possession, the Lansdowne Herakles.

Spanning thousands of years—from preclassical times as far back as the third millennium B.C. through the third-century A.D.—the Getty antiquities collection encompasses Cycladic, Greek, Etruscan, South Italian, Roman, and Romano-Egyptian cultures.It includes one of the finest assemblages of ancient Greek vases in the United States; monumental marble sculptures and diminutive bronzes; Greek and Roman gems; and Hellenistic silverware, jewelry, and glass.

The handbook includes a foreword by museum director Deborah Gribbon and an introduction tracing the history of the collection by antiquities curator Marion True.

**********************************************
I EARNED THE GETTY OIL COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS FOUR BILLION BUCKS ...
ON THE RESERVE ACQUISITION; THE WAY THEY TREAT ME ... IT REALLY SUCKS!
AS THE GETTY INHERITORS BASK IN GLEE;
ALL I ASKED FOR WAS THAT THEY LOOK AFTER ME!
FOUR BILLION DOLLARS THEY EARNED ON RESERVE ...
MY FEE ... I SURELY DESERVE!

IT TURNS OUT J.P. GETTY MAY HAVE BEEN A NAZI;
HIS FAMILY EVEN GOES BACK TO GERMANY ....
WITH HITLER, GÖRING & GOEBBELS HE DID STAND;
WHILE TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE AMERICAN LAND!
FOR PAINTINGS & ARTIFACTS HE DID RECEIVE;
WITH HIS OIL HE WAS ABLE TO DECEIVE?

HOOVER & THE FBI & ROOSEVELT THEY KNEW ...
THAT J.P. GETTY & ESPIONAGE HE DREW?
MANY A YOUNG LAD & JEW DID DIE,
AS PLANES DROPPED BOMBS FROM THE SKY.
FOR YEARS WHILE GETTY SAT IN BERLIN,
HE MAY HAVE COMMITTED MANY A SIN?

THE ASHES AND SMOKE FROM THE CHIMNEYS IT ROSE ...
WHILE OLD MAN GETTY SAT COZY ... HE CHOSE!
WITH ARTWORK HELD TIGHTLY UNDER HIS ARM,
STILL DRIPPING IN BLOOD ... AS THE REAL OWNER MET HARM!
INTO THE OVENS & ON MEAT HOOKS, BULLETS BETWEEN THE EYES ...
LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY YOU CAN STILL HEAR THEIR CRIES!

WHILE THE GETTY FAMILY,
SIT IN ENGLAND; AT THEIR ESTATE AT WORMSLEY.
AND GORDO SINGS IN SAN FRANCISCO,
WITH HIS 727 IN TOW.
THE GETTY MUSEUM SITS ATOP MALIBU,
WHILE THE CORPSES OF WORLD WAR 2 SCREAM ... J.P. GETTY ... WE KNOW YOU!"
