First Open-Access Issue of Getty Research Journal Now Available
The spring 2024 issue of the Getty Research Journal, an open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal on the visual arts, is now available. Published by the Getty Research Institute (GRI) since 2009, the Getty Research Journal presents articles on the visual arts of all cultures, regions, and time periods. Topics featured in the journal relate to Getty collections, initiatives, and broad research interests. The journal welcomes a diversity of perspectives and methodological approaches, and seeks to include work that expands narratives on global culture.
Previously available via subscription, the conversion to an open-access journal reflects Getty’s ongoing commitment to open content. The texts are published under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (CC BY-NC) license, allowing for far-reaching access, collaboration, and impact. With the transition to open access, the Getty Research Journal is now produced and published using Getty’s open-source Quire software and freely available in web, PDF, and e-book formats. For readers who wish to have a bound reference copy, this paperback edition has been made available for sale.
The new issue features essays on a fragmentary Kufic Qur’an of Early Abbasid style produced in Central Iran; cuttings from a twelfth-century Bible written in southeastern France for a Carthusian monastery in the orbit of the Grande Chartreuse; a large folding panorama of the Brazilian city of Salvador in the state of Bahia, taken around 1880 by German photographer Rodolpho Lindemann; French traveler Jane Dieulafoy’s nineteenth-century photographic documentation of Ilkhanid monuments, including the Emamzadeh Yahya, one of Iran’s most plundered tombs; the wartime encounter between Polish painters stationed in Baghdad and Iraqi artists during the British military reoccupation of Iraq in 1941–45; and the integration of photography and poetry in East German samizdat artists’ books of the 1980s.
