Between nature and culture
photographs of the Getty Center
by Joe Deal, Mark Johnstone, Richard Meier, and Weston Naef
"In the years, between 1984 and 1997, photographer Joe Deal recorded the transformation of a chaparral-covered mountaintop into the travertine-covered complex of the Getty Center."--BOOK JACKET.
"He completed the assignment in two phases: The photographs made during the first phase (April 1984-March 1989) capture the natural ruggedness of the terrain and establish its relationship to the developed neighboring enclaves. Those made during the second phase (April 1992-August 1997) not only record the actual construction process but also reveal Deal's personal perspective on the qualities of light and the creation of form.
Represented in this book as a selection from the resulting portfolio, Topos, a Greek word meaning place, site, position, and occasion - Deal's artistic legacy to the Gerry Center."--BOOK JACKET.
