Two exhibitions start on June 7th at the Getty Center in Los Angeles and will run until August 28th: Tacita Dean and Conserving de Kooning: Theft and Recovery. Tacita Dean presents two new works by the British conceptual artist of the same name, who combines various media and techniques in her work. In terms of content, she primarily explores the relationship between history and the present. The current works are inspired by the sites and collections of the Getty Center and the Getty Villa Museum. On view, first, is Pan Amicus, a 16mm film. In it, Tacita Dean (b. 1965) imagines the landscapes as part of Arcadia, the mythical home of Pan, the Greek god of nature. Second, Monet Hates Me, a portfolio of mixed media objects, is exhibited. It traces Dean's chance encounters in the art historical archives of the Getty Research Institute.

The exhibition Conserving de Kooning: Theft and Recovery explores Willem de Kooning's (1904-1997) painting Woman-Ochre, part of his controversial Woman series. Painted by the Dutch-American abstract expressionist in the mid-1950s, it was later donated to the University of Arizona Museum of Art, where it was displayed until 1985. There it was then cut from its frame and stolen. For the next 32 years, the painting was lost until it was recovered in 2017.  Conserving de Kooning: Theft and Recovery picks up where this event left off, highlighting the scholarly analysis as well as the careful conservation treatment of the work.Art.Salon
