The Getty Research Institute presents The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930

By Noémie Despland-Lichtert|

Tuesday, Sep 5, 2017

The City of the Future: Hundred Story City in Neo-American Style Francisco Mujica (Mexican, 1899–1979). Offset lithograph in History of the Skyscraper (Paris: Archaeology & Architecture Press, 1929), pl. 134

The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930, explores the impacts of economic and political changes on the urban fabric and built environment of six Latin American Capitals: Buenos Aires, Havana, Lima, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago de Chile.

Perspective View of the Castle Square Designed by Professor Alfred Agache as the Main Business Center. Alfred Donat Agache (French, 1875–1959) Chromolithograph in Cidade do Rio de Janeiro: Remodelação- Extensão e Embellezamento (Paris: Foyer Brésilien, 1930)

The exhibition is co-curated by Maristella Casciato, curator of architecture and Idurre Alonso, associate curator of Latin American collections, both at the Getty Research Institute.

Divided into seven themes, the Colonial City, Timeline, the Republican City, Spaces for Leisure & Culture, Modern Infrastructure, National Architecture In Context, and Toward Modernism, the objects on display include architectural photography, prints and drawings, plans, maps and more. 

On Santa Lucía Hill, Santiago ca. 1880–1889 Unknown photographer Albumen print
Raymond Special on the Metlac Bridge ca. 1897. Charles Betts Waite (American, 1861–1927) Gelatin silver print.

The exhibition describes the use of Urbanism and architecture as colonial tools of Spanish imperialism, but also the transformation of capital cities following the independence.

Co-curator Idurre Alonso says: “During the 16th century and for the next three centuries, town planning became a key tool for the colonial enterprise guiding the development of commercially functional and militarily strategic cities.”

The Metropolis in Latin America also explores the relationships between Los Angeles and Latin America’s build environment through the development of Mission, Spanish and Mayan revival styles.

Platte Grond van Lima, de Hoofdstad van Peru Plan of Lima, Capital of Peru ca. 1760. Isaak Tirion (Dutch, 1705–1765). Engraving.
Avenue de Mayo 1914, Unknown photographer, Gelatin silver prints in “Travel Albums from Paul Fleury’s Trips to Switzerland, the Middle East, India, Asia, and South America,” 1896–1918

The  exhibition is part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a Celebration beyond Borders, a series of exhibition throughout Southern California presenting Latin American and Latino Arts and Culture.
