For those who have affinity for the innvative work of Frank Israel's
architecture
, there is new optimism in exposing his creative genius through the Getty’s new Department of Architecture and Design.

Wim de Wit is now heading the Getty’s new deparment, now focusing on California architecture, and promises to put more of its healthy collection of architectural collections on public display.

Mr. Wit is quoted in Metropolismag.com “We have to work far in advance, so from 2013 to 2014, we are looking at having a very big exhibition about California architecture from 1940 to 1990”.

I look forward to viewing the exhibits at the Getty. I am very excited to see "LA modern" and “Los Angeles Avant-Garde” along with other movements. I have great optimism for Wim De Wit, who will highlight many creative architects including Israel's creative brilliance through a future exhibit at the Getty.

If you would like to learn more about Frank Israel's work by clicking on "Recommend by Aeron under LINK TO BOOKS located on the side of the blog. I recommend reading my favorite book on Israel's work Franklin D. Israel (Architectural Monographs No 34) , the book is full of brilliant colored photos of his dynamic interior architecture. There is even a link to a interview by Charlie Rose with Elliott Abrams, Robert Torricelli & Allan Narin; Jim Nantz; Frank Israel (March 31, 1995).
