The Lost Murals of Renaissance Rome + Judy Baca: Hitting the Wall

Though they share the same building (the West Pavilion) and focus (murals), about 400 years separates these two summertime exhibitions at the Getty. “The Lost Murals of Renaissance Rome” uses drawings from the museum’s collection to show how the familiar stately walls of Rome were once covered in elaborate frescoes. Bringing things much closer to home, “Judy Baca: Hitting the Wall” will examine the design, painting, destruction and restoration of the artist’s 1984 Olympics mural by the 4th Street off-ramp on the northbound 110.
