The Getty Research Journal presents peer-reviewed articles on the visual arts of all cultures, regions, and time periods. Topics often relate to Getty collections, initiatives, and broad research interests. The journal welcomes a diversity of perspectives and methodological approaches, and seeks to include work that expands narratives on global culture.

This issue features essays on the remembering and remaking of Second Empire table centerpieces by French fine metalworking firm Christofle et Cie during the Third Republic; satirical photomontages by Soviet artist trio Brigade KGK in 1934 for an illustrated edition of Joseph Stalin's speech; a forgotten but important example of New Deal–era painting by little-known US American artist Bennett Buck mistakenly attributed to Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco; poet David Antin's turn to talking in the 1970s as oral art criticism; the marketing of a limited-edition portfolio published in 1976 by dealer Harry Lunn featuring prints by Gerd Sander of photographer Lisette Model's work from the 1930s and '40s; and the material culture and interpretive program at Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site in Philadelphia shaping the public conversation about justice in the criminal legal system. Shorter texts include a notice on a sketchbook shared between French artist Rosa Bonheur and her father and teacher, Raymond Bonheur, during the 1840s and '50s. This issue also includes a conversation between scholar Laura G. Gutiérrez and visual artist Felipe Baeza about art making, migration, legibility, and belonging in the context of his project, Unruly Forms.
