Blue Gold: The Art and Science of Indigo presents indigo through stunning objects of creative expression and the astonishing study of a chemical reaction.
Blue Gold is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of Getty’s 2024 PST ART initiative. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science. The heart of PST ART is always the distinctive cultural identity of Southern California and the universal hunger for artistic and intellectual discovery.
Indigo, a varied plant family that grows worldwide and the deep, blue dye it produces, has a long and multifaceted history of cultivation, production, and distribution. Indigo is everywhere – in Japanese kimonos, West African traditional garments, saris from India, and painted onto architectural structures in the southern United States. Blue Gold combines craft, science, and history to explore this color’s complex past and present. Featuring stunning objects of creative expression coupled with the astonishing study of a chemical reaction, this exhibition presents indigo as a compelling manifestation of art and science.
