Encountering Newman

On January 25 and 26, 2008, the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the Getty Research Institute presented "The Object in Transition: A Cross Disciplinary Conference on the Preservation and Study of Modern and Contemporary Art," a major conference at the Getty Center on the conservation of contemporary sculpture, painting, and mixed-media artworks, and the collaborative possibilities for conservators, art historians, and curators working in these fields. This two-day event aimed to foster increased dialogue among these fields, primarily via intensive professional dialogues on case studies and general panel discussions. A number of relevant art works were on display, enabling the audience to participate in the discussion of these works.
