The GettyMuseum asked people to recreate their favourite artwork using items in their homes. The results are often highly creative and amusing
IN RECENT WEEKS as many as 3.9bn people—half of the world’s population—have been living under lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many have sought to recreate what is lost. Unable to meet in person, friends and families gather on Zoom for digital approximations of after-work drinks, birthday parties and even funerals. Hopeful romantics set up online dates. Live webcams allow schoolchildren to take ersatz field trips to zoos and famous geographical sites.
The response was enormous. It is difficult to track just how many entries have been posted to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, but the number of people accessing artworks in the Getty’s online collection has risen by 306% since the museum launched the initiative on March 29th. Traffic to the Getty’s blog, “The Iris”, which discusses the art and its creators, is up 550%. The results are often highly creative and amusing.
