The Getty Research Journal is an annual publication that showcases work by scholars and staff associated with the Getty Research Institute and the other programs of the J. Paul Getty Trust. It
offers refereed essays that focus on an object or aspect of the Getty's extensive archival, rare book, and artistic holdings or that bear upon the annual research themes of the Research
Institute or the Getty Villa. It also presents a selection of short, lively pieces about new acquisitions, scholarly activities, and ongoing research projects at the Getty.
The inaugural issue of the Getty Research Journal features essays by Chris Bennett, Jens Daehner, Olivier Debroise, Chelsea Foxwell, Karen Lang, Annette Leddy, Riccardo Marchi, Marc J. Neveu,
Spyros Papapetros, Lorenzo Pericolo, and Irene Small; the short texts examine materials at the Getty related to Nicolas de Nicolay, Pietro Millini, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Yona Friedman, Alfred
Schmela, Allan Kaprow, and African-American avant-garde artists in Los Angeles.
