    Ann Temkin (Harvard AB'81), Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art

    The Museum of Modern Art traditionally maintained a distinction between spaces devoted to its collection of paintings and sculpture, where installations were relatively fixed. Under Ann Temkin, the collection galleries have become a site for fluid displays—an approach that has brought on view a great many works not seen for decades. She will discuss the thinking behind the new policy and introduce initiatives planned for the coming months.

    Free admission. Open to the public.

    Reflecting the personal and professional pursuits of the late Nancy Stephenson Nichols (Harvard AM'77, PhD'80), this annual lecture provides a forum for international leaders in the arts, culture, and museums to share their expertise and ideas on topics of importance in the worlds in which they work.
