David Maisel at Yancey Richardson Gallery

During a residency at LA’s Getty Research Institute, photographer David Maisel photographed x-rays made by the conservation department, turning documents of artworks into the artworks themselves and morphing scientific enquiry into ghostly images that suggest mysterious objects. (At Yancey Richardson Gallery through May 10th).
