Seeing the Getty Center Buildings and Gardens

The photographs in these two volumes present an impressionistic view of the Getty Center and its grounds. One book concentrates on the Getty Center site, including its architecture and galleries. The second captures the Center's gardens and landscaping. Here, two of the Getty's most popular books are brought together in one handsome boxed set. In Seeing the Getty, numerous color photographs show the Getty Center in all its magnificence—from the tram and the noted architecture to the elegant interiors of the Museum galleries. In Seeing the Getty Gardens, vivid color photographs of the plazas, fountains, hillsides, and Robert Irwin's Central Garden offer a dazzling look at the breathtaking outdoor spaces at the Getty Center. Together these books provide an engaging glimpse of one of America's most important cultural institutions.
