Getty Museum Displays First Survey of Felice Beato’s Long and Varied Photography Career

LOS ANGELES, CA.- —On view at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center, December 7, 2010—April 24, 2011, Felice Beato: A Photographer on the Eastern Road will present the first survey of Felice Beato’s (British, born Italy, 1832–1909) long and varied photography career which covered a wide geographical area—from the Middle East to Southeast Asia. This exhibition will run concurrently with Photography from the New China. “In 2007, the Getty Museum acquired a substantial collection of more than 800 photographs by Beato, a partial gift from the Wilson Centre for Photography. This important acquisition is the impetus and foundation for this exhibition, which covers Beato’s entire career from his war photography to his commercial studio work,” said Judith Keller,
