Color of Life: Polychromy in Sculpture From Antiquity to the Present Contrary to popular belief, the sculpture of the ancient world was intensely colorful. By the time these artifacts resurfaced in the Renaissance, however, most had lost their pigment. It’s still not an easy sell, but this show makes a valiant – and persuasive – case for it, combining scholarship and accessibility in typical Getty fashion to survey polychromy in sculpture from antiquity to the present. Getty Villa, 17985 Pacific Coast Highway, Pacific Palisades. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; ends June 23. Free. (310) 440-7300.
