At this study day leading curators and art historians discuss the relationship between exhibitions, museum collections and art history. The speakers consider the extent to which museums influence which artists are written into history and how art critics and historians influence museum curators’ decisions.
The contributors include Frances Morris, Senior Curator at Tate Modern and curator of the recent Collection displays rehang; Nigel Warburton, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at The Open University and author of The Art (2003); Steve Edwards, Research Lecturer in Art History at The Open University; and artists Frida Kahlo and Kathe Kollwitz from the Guerrilla Girls.
