At the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center
August 5–December 14, 2014
LOS ANGELES―On view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from August 5 through December 14, 2014, In Focus: Tokyo features more than thirty photographs from the Museum’s collection that portray Japan’s capital city as a dense and hyperreal megalopolis.
Organized by senior curator Judith Keller and assistant curator Amanda Maddox, both in the Department of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum, this exhibition includes the work of four contemporary Japanese photographers: Mikiko Hara, Daido Moriyama, Shigeichi Nagano, and Masato Seto. Their work engages with different aspects of life in Tokyo, from the city’s anonymous residents and towering buildings, to its serene parks and frenzied nightlife. Shown together, the selected photographs reflect the complexity of Japanese society and the variety found in Tokyo’s urban landscape.
