Begun in 2000, Art Matters was a series of conversations with artists
and other arts professionals about their work and the changing contemporary
arts landscape. Organized by the Getty Research Institute, the series
was hosted by Getty Visiting Lecturer Barbara Isenberg, who has
been writing about the arts for the Los Angeles Times since 1976.
She is the author of State of the Arts: California Artists Talk
about Their Work.
Art Matters brought arts people and topics together in a public
forum. Guests included artists Billy Al Bengston, Judy Chicago,
Alexis Smith, and Michael Light, as well as art dealer Irving Blum,
author and critic Peter Plagens, and architect Richard Thompson.
In June 2002 the series culminated in a panel discussion with film
critics Richard Corliss from Time magazine, Ella Taylor from
the L.A. Weekly, and Kenneth Turan from the Los Angeles
Times.
