Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the center, the book reveals behind-the-scenes views of the building as objects from J. Paul Getty's painting, sculpture and decorative arts collections were being installed inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn September 1997 the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e commissioned Robert Polidori (born 1951) to photograph Maier's building. Within 48 hours he had made images of its exterior but was dissatisfied.
