FOREWORD
Anyone wanting a sample o f the Getty
Museums growth i n the past decade should
put this book next to its predecessor o f 1986
and t u r n the pages.
Between editions there have been 115
additions to the collection o f French furniture
and decorative arts, a collection that i n 1984
was already the glory o f the Getty Museum.
These acquisitions include material i n virtually
every category, including objects o f a k i n d
conspicuously lacking i n the earlier edition:
various individual types o f furniture not yet
represented, a group o f especially beautiful
and rare French and German porcelain, and
a miscellany o f fine Neoclassical pieces.
This astute purchasing has been the w o r k
o f Gillian W i l s o n , w h o came to the Getty
Museum i n 1971 to b u i l d up the collection and
apply a professional standard to its care and
publication.
Just as striking i n this edition is the addi­
tion o f entire categories to the Getty Museum
collection, accomplished since 1984 by a
new curatorial department under Peter Fusco.
Although European sculpture is the main Γ owe Gillian W i l s o n and Peter Fusco,
focus o f this department, it is also charged w i t h whose taste can be detected everywhere i n
broadening the representation o f European this catalogue, m y admiration for what they
furniture and decorative arts. Collections o f have brought about. T h e i r staffs, especially
Italian maiolica and European glass were Charissa Bremer-David, Peggy Fogelman,
among its first purchases. Since then Italian and Catherine Hess, have m y gratitude for the
furniture, Kunstkammer objects, metalwork, collaboration that made the book possible.
and works o f art i n many other categories
have been added. Altogether, these total some John Walsh
141 acquisitions. Director
As I write, the foundations are being
poured for a new museum that w i l l house
these collections. For French furniture and
decorative arts there w i l l be some sixteen
galleries en suite, including five complete pan­
eled rooms—space enough, at last, to exhibit
the collection i n the style i t deserves. I n other
parts o f the building, galleries are being
designed for sculpture, glass, maiolica, metal-
work, and other works o f art outside France;
some o f this material w i l l be shown i n the
paintings galleries as well. Since we can exhibit
only a mere sampling i n M a l i b u , the opening
o f the new museum w i l l be an unveiling and
celebration o f these remarkable collections.

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
T h i s b o o k is a revised and expanded edition o f
Decorative Arts: A Handbook of the Collections
of the J . Paul Getty Museum ( M a l i b u , 1986).
T h e original volume contained entries o n all
the objects acquired by the Department o f
Decorative Arts t h r o u g h the middle o f 1984.
T h e growth o f the Museum's decorative arts
collection since that date and the formation o f
the Department o f European Sculpture and
Works o f A r t i n 1984 have necessitated a new
edition. T h e larger part is devoted to objects i n
the Department o f Decorative Arts, which
covers the area o f N o r t h e r n Europe from 1650
to 1815, while the remainder o f the entries
represent the acquisitions o f the Department
o f European Sculpture and Works o f A r t :
European objects to 1650 and Southern Euro­
pean objects (from Italy, Spain, and Portugal)
to 1900.
T h e format remains the same: objects
are grouped by c o u n t r y o f origin and then
arranged chronologically by m e d i u m and
form. Each object is illustrated. Wliere appro­
priate and available, the following information
is given: place o f manufacture, date, artist
or maker, materials, description o f marks,
measurements, accession number, provenance,
exhibition history, and selected bibliography.
Two indexes are provided: the first lists
makers w i t h their dates; the second, the
previous owners.
I t is hoped that this new edition w i l l
serve as an interim survey o f the Decorative
Arts collection, pending the publication o f
that department's catalogues, as well as an
introduction to a portion o f the collections i n
the Department o f European Sculpture and
Works o f A r t . Objects which are not displayed
i n the galleries may be viewed by students and
scholars by appointment.
This summary catalogue is based o n
files created by Gillian W i l s o n , Curator o f
Decorative Arts, and Peter Fusco, Curator o f
European Sculpture and Works o f A r t . T h e
1986 edition was compiled jointly by Adrian
Sassoon and Gillian Wilson. T h e present book
is largely the effort o f Charissa Bremer-David,
Department o f Decorative Arts, and Peggy
Fogelman, Peter Fusco, and Catherine Hess,
Department o f European Sculpture and Works
of Art.
M a n y others w i t h i n the Museum have
contributed to the summary catalogue: the
late David Cohen, Associate Curator o f
Decorative Arts, provided m u c h essential
data and unfailing assistance. Jeffrey Weaver,
Assistant Curator o f Decorative Arts, and
Bernard Jazzar, Intern i n the Department o f
7
Decorative Arts, contributed information
regarding marks, bibliography, and exhibition
history. Brian Considine, Conservator o f
Decorative Arts and Sculpture, and Gordon
H a n l o n , Assistant Conservator, aided i n the
identification o f materials. Jack Ross, Senior
Photographer, was responsible for new photog­
raphy. Kathleen Ryczek, former Senior
Secretary i n the Department o f European
Sculpture and Works o f A r t , assisted i n orga­
nizing and typing portions o f the manuscript.
