DAH Adjunct Professor Brinda Kumar has helped to organize a Met Breuer exhibition

From Professor Kumar:

I was very happy to see that Prof. Ajay Sinha had circulated information on the Nasreen Mohamedi exhibition back in January. I am pleased to let you know that the exhibition (which I have had the pleasure of working on) opens to the public tomorrow on March 18, and will be on view at The Met Breuer (the Met’s newest space located on 5th Ave and 75th St, New York – former home of the Whitney Museum). It will be on view till June 5, 2016, and I hope that many in the ACSAA community might be able to see it.

Professor Dennis Geronimus has contributed to the catalogue for the Maniera exhibition at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt

Here is a link to the exhibition in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, titled Maniera: Pontormo, Bronzino, and Medici Florence (Feb. 24-May 6, 2016).

If you find yourself in Frankfurt you must visit!

This is sure to be the most important exhibition on the generation of daring, stylistically unorthodox artists following on the heels of Michelangelo — Pontormo, Andrea del Sarto, Rosso Fiorentino, Agnolo Bronzino, Francesco Salviati, Benvenuto Cellini — since the groundbreaking L’Officina della Maniera exhibition in the Uffizi in 1996.
