This exhibition, part of the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative, marks the first ever in-depth commitment to the study of Guatemalan art in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, bringing innovative and visually arresting works produced by Guatemalan artists to a public audience in the United States and abroad.

Major support for Guatemala from 33,000 km is provided through grants from the Getty Foundation.
