Sorry you missed the lecture -- it was the most interesting one I've attended at the Getty. Perhaps because he was a good speaker, perhaps because he had a broader topic (Books of Hours) than some of the lecturers.
Do see the exhibit. I noted a tiny little white wyvern inside a dark blue barbed quatrefoil that filled all the circle-parts and the point parts with bits of his body. The whole design was maybe three-quarters of an inch high. There was also a page with 8 yellow wyverns in annulo, surrounding the text. Can you detect a theme in what I was noticing?
