Getty Museum Acquires Penn Photographs

Have you been to see the exhibition of Irving Penn portraits at the Morgan Library that we told you about last month? If not, don’t worry, a similar show will probably pop up soon on the West Coast. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles has just acquired an important collection of Penn portraits, The New York Times reports today. No word on how much the museum paid for the photos, which are silver-gelatin and platinum prints.
