Getty Center
24-acre campus of the Getty Center, tied for number two behind Disneyland on Citysearch’s “Best of” list of L.A. attractions.
The museum’s permanent collection contains a load of William Eggleston photographs, which I’d been hoping to see, but when we went a Robert Adams exhibition was up. Adams was awarded the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2006 for his project Turning Back (also shortlisted for the prize was Alec Soth for Sleeping by the Mississippi). At Adams’ request the prize of more than $50,000 was given to the charity Human Rights Watch.
