Farewell to Surrealism: The Dyn Circle in Mexico
October 2, 2012–February 17, 2013
In the 1940s, an international circle of writers and artists from Europe, Latin America, and North America came together in Mexico City and created the unique journal Dyn. Many of them—including the journal's founder and primary editor, Wolfgang Paalen—had been part of Andre Breton's Parisian surrealist circle in the 1930s, before taking refuge in Mexico during World War II. This group shared a passion for the pre-Columbian past of the Americas, and their immersion in its artifacts transformed their art. Dyn is a record of their ideas and the art they made, an art that had ramifications far beyond Mexico City.

A Nation Emerges: The Mexican Revolution Revealed
September 8, 2011–February 23, 2013
The Mexican Revolution (1910–20), which lasted a decade and transformed the nation, was extensively chronicled by Mexican, American, and European photographers and illustrators.

Organized by the Getty Research Institute with support from Edison International.
This exhibition is on view at the Los Angeles Public Library, Central Library.

Pacific Standard Time: Kunst in Los Angeles, 1950–1980
March 15–June 10, 2012
Building on the Getty's Pacific Standard Time exhibitions, Pacific Standard Time: Kunst in Los Angeles, 1950–1980 traces the development of the post–World War II Los Angeles art scene. During this period, local artists looked for new approaches, subjects, and techniques for art-making, including experimenting with the materials and processes of the pioneering industries in the region and the local surf and car cultures. Comprised of the core of the Getty Museum's Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950–1970 and the Getty Research Institute's Greetings from L.A.: Artists and Publics, 1950–1980, the reconceived exhibition in Berlin showcases many new works, including more than 50 photographs by Julius Shulman from the Julius Shulman photography archive.
The Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin is the sole European venue for this exhibition.
