Title: Greek Bronze Sculptures on Display in Los Angeles and Washington, DC
Body:
Power and Pathos review – once-in-a-lifetime look at Greek bronze sculptures
With loans from 34 museums in 12 countries, this exhibition at the Getty Center in Los Angeles includes ancient treasures never before assembled in one place
by Jordan Riefe
August 1, 2015
Today, fewer than 200 large-scale bronzes of the era [between 323 BC and the beginning of the Roman empire] remain, and 47 of them are on display in Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World, at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. With loans from 34 museums in 12 countries, this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition includes numerous national treasures never before assembled in one place. The show stops in three cities only: it went to Florence in March, and travels to the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC this December.
