LOS ANGELES, CA.- Since the Enlightenment, the city of Dresden has been a world leader in the arts and sciences. Overshadowed by the catastrophic bombing of World War II, Dresden has reemerged as a major European cultural capital following German reunification. The rebuilding of some of Dresden's major monuments has involved the world as a partner in binding the wounds of the 20th century, promoting healing and reconciliation.
Joining in this process, the J. Paul Getty Trust has provided expertise and resources to the Dresden State Museums in a variety of initiatives since 1995. The Getty Foundation has funded publications and conservation efforts, the Getty Conservation Institute assisted various institutions following the devastating Dresden floods of 2002, and the Getty Museum has provided conservation assistance and exhibited selected works from Dresden at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. As an extension of this relationship, the J. Paul Getty Museum, with From Caspar David Fiedrich to Gerhard Richter: German Paintings from Dresden (through April 29, 2007 at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center), embarks on a series of collaborative exhibitions forged by curatorial departments in both cities, bringing to Los Angeles works of art from Dresden that provide visitors new perspectives on the collections of both institutions.
