Join Judd Foundation and the Jewish Museum, New York, for an online conversation on the occasion of the Jewish Museum’s exhibition New York: 1962–1964, the final project conceived and curated by Germano Celant (1940–2020). The exhibition explores a pivotal three-year period in the history of art and culture in New York City by examining how artists living and working in the city responded to their rapidly changing world. Flavin Judd, artistic director of Judd Foundation, will speak with writers and critics Johanna Fateman and Wayne Koestenbaum about connections between artists represented in the exhibition, Donald Judd’s work as a critic, and the state of art criticism in a conversation moderated by Sarah C. Bancroft, executive director of the James Rosenquist Foundation. The recorded conversation will air on the Jewish Museum’s YouTube channel.
