Volume 3, by Nicholas Turner, Lee Hendrix, and Carol Plazzotta, in 1997. Volume 4 is in preparation. The text of this book was written by Nicholas Turner and Lee Hendrix, who have my warm thanks. As I write, a gallery for regular exhibitions of drawings from the collection is being finished at the new Getty Museum at the Getty Center in west Los Angeles, which is to open at the end of 1997. Plans are being made for loan exhibitions of drawings as well. We hope above all that readers who make discoveries in this book will come to see the drawings themselves.
