Kirk Varnedoe
A rebroadcast of an hour with art historian Kirk Varnedoe
Keywords:
A rebroadcast of an hour-long conversation with modern art historian Kirk Varnedoe about his past work as the chief curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art. He also discusses his decision to step down from the position and join the faculty at the Institute for Advanced Study of Art (from February 1, 2002).

























Back when I was a grad student, I bought into the negative press associated with the High/Low exhibition. Four months after this interview, I found myself sitting in on a lecture given by Mr Varnedoe on the subject of Andy Warhol. I was taking notes on napkins and whatever else I could scrounge out of my purse. This guy was that good.
We're so fortunate to have this hour. Mr. Varnedoe would have passed my knowing if it were not for you. Truly, thanks.
