// Looking at Venezuela x Alfredo Boulton at Getty Center
NOW OPEN! Getty Research Institute features Alfredo Boulton: Looking at Venezuela, 1928-78, an exhibition that celebrates Boulton's many dimensions and accomplishments. Drawn extensively from the trove of papers and photographs in the Alfredo Boulton archive acquired by GRI in 2020, the exhibition is divided into three thematic sections analyzing different aspects of his persona - Boulton the Photographer, Boulton and Modern Art, and Boulton the Art Historian. By exploring Boulton from several angles, the exhibition will focus on this photographic work, his connections to the artists of his time, and his crucial involvement in the development of art history in Venezuela. Considered one of the most important champions of modern art in Venezuela and a key intellectual of 20th-century modernism, Alfredo Boulton was a pioneer of modern photography, an art critic, a researcher and historian of Venezuelan art, a friend to many of the great artists and architects of the 20th century. Despite the important role Boulton played, he is shockingly underrecognized outside of his home country.

// The Delighted Moment
OPENING TONIGHT! The Hulett Collection // // presents Elliott Erwitt : The Delighted Moment, an exhibition of thirty-two curated works spanning over forty years of Elliott Erwitt's career that have forever endeared viewers. Elliott Erwitt has been called many names over the course of his career, but the one that really kept was being called a master of Henri Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment" philosophy. Born as Elio Romano Erwitz, the artist was well known for having a keen eye that allowed him to spot absurd moments in everyday life and his photographs depicted this never-ending irony that occurs in our lives, although we would typically fail to spot it ourselves. Erwitt's first steps into photography were born out of necessity and not passion as is the case with many others, but is now highly recognized as one of the best to ever dip their toes in the medium.
