Kirk Varnedoe (1946-August 13, 2003) was an American art historian and writer, and a noted curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. He was a Professor of the History of Art at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and studied at Williams College.

After his years at Williams, Varnedoe went to Paris, where he became expert on Auguste Rodin’s drawings, and fell in love with French culture and civilization. He returned to America and taught art history, first at Columbia University, and then at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. He co-curated, with William Rubin, the exhibition “Primitivism: Affinity Between the Tribal and The Modern” at the Museum of Modern Art in 1984, the same year that he won a MacArthur Fellowship. In 1988, he became the Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MoMa, where his exhibitions included “High And Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture” as well as retrospectives of the work of Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns and Jackson Pollock. He was famous as an eloquent public speaker, and he gave many lectures and lecture series, including the Slade Lectures at Oxford and the Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. These last, his final lecture series, was published in 2006 by Princeton University Press under the title “Pictures of Nothing.”
