Masters Old & New: a Curator's Perspective. A Conversation with Dr. Anke Van Wagenberg

About this event

In conversation with Washington artist Elizabeth Casqueiro, Senior Curator Anke Van Wagenberg, PhD, will speak about the development of exhibitions, from old masters to contemporary artists. Art does not appear magically on the walls of museums! She will explain the process of selecting artists, themes and topics of exhibitions, and all considerations that go into creating new exhibitions. Dr. Van Wagenberg has extensive experience with creating exhibitions at multiple institutions, from the National Gallery of Art and Baltimore's Walters Art Museum to smaller university galleries and regional museums, and has curated the works of Peter Paul Rubens, Rauschenberg, James Turrell and many other important artists. Dr. Anke Van Wagenberg serves as Senior Curator and Head of International Collaborations at the 117-year old American Federation of Arts in New York City.
