Having thought I had no excuse to visit Los Angeles since January this year, I am ticked off to have overlooked a golden opportunity. The Getty Center has just finished showing an exhibition called ‘Out of Bounds: Images in the Margins of Medieval Manuscripts’. How infuriating to have missed it. Still, the interactive guide (click the link) is a neat little taster. (Although it only shows the work of a couple of the artists on display.) Thankfully, a book is available. Maybe a quick hop over to LAX to pick up a copy is in order after all.
Update: I am researching designs for a medieval tattoo, drawing on the spirit and style of fourteenth-century marginalia at the moment. Having trouble finding an artist. If anyone knows of one (UK or US based), please get in touch via the contact page.
Update 2: Apparently the book is not for sale outside the US and Canada. American site visitors: please get in touch if you are able to get a copy on my behalf!
