The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles has announced a gift of twenty-eight modern sculptures from the Ray Stark Revocable Trust, the New York Times reports.

The collection, estimated to be worth about $75 million, was amassed by the late Hollywood producer Ray Stark, whose films include The Way We Were and Funny Girl, and his wife, Fran, who passed away in 1992, and includes works by 20th-century masters such as Giacometti, Calder, Mir�, Moore, and Noguchi, as well as works by living artists such as Ellsworth Kelly and Joel Shapiro.

"We are not rushing into the acquisition of twentieth and twenty-first-century art," said Barry Munitz, president and chief executive of the J. Paul Getty Trust. "But this signals that in the right circumstances we are open to talking to people about gifts of twentieth-century art."

The sculptures will be installed throughout the Getty Center, heralding "a new era for the site and for the museum," said Getty acting director William Griswold.
