01 · Background
Who Getty Research Institute is.
- Historical Background
- The Getty Research Institute (GRI) was established in 1983 as a program of the J. Paul Getty Trust, following the expansion of the Trust's mission to include a commitment to research in the visual arts. It was founded to be an international center for the study of visual culture and is home to one of the world's most extensive art libraries. The Getty Center, where the GRI is located, opened to the public in 1997.
- Source of Capital
- The Getty Research Institute is funded by the J. Paul Getty Trust, which is the world's wealthiest art institution. The Trust's significant endowment, a legacy of J. Paul Getty, supports the operations of the GRI, along with the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the Getty Foundation.
- Allocation Strategy
- The Institute's allocation strategy is directed towards non-financial, mission-related investments in the arts and humanities, rather than traditional asset classes like private equity or venture capital. Capital is deployed to acquire art historical archives, rare books, and prints for its collections, with a focus on the history of Western European art and culture, while expanding into other global regions. The Institute strategically allocates resources to its residential scholars program, public programs, exhibitions, and publications to advance the understanding of visual arts.
