Curators in Conversation: Pop to Present

Discover the curatorial vision behind Pop to Present: American Art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in this special conversation between the VMFA's Alexis Assam and Kenneth Brummel, the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki co-ordinating curator.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the curators about the artworks on display and how this exhibition's inclusive narrative of recent American art took shape. Assam will also share fascinating insights about the legendary Richmond, Virginia, collectors Sydney and Frances Lewis, whose 1985 donation of post-World War II American art transformed the profile of the VMFA.
