Eighth Annual Robert Rosenblum Lecture: Terry Winters in Conversation with Lisa Phillips

Join artist Terry Winters and Lisa Phillips, Toby Devan Lewis Director of the New Museum, as they discuss the provocations and scholarship of Robert Rosenblum, whose wide-ranging embrace of various ‘tastes’, and inclusive vision have been integral to both Winters and Phillips’ work. The conversation will take his provocations as a starting point to look at the possibilities of painting today, Winters’ own work within the expanded field, and Rosenblum’s canon-shifting legacy.

The program is followed by a reception in the Guggenheim’s iconic rotunda. Free.

Terry Winters’ multidimensional and expansive body of work—in painting, drawing, and printmaking—spans over four decades.  In addition to a major survey at the Whitney Museum in 1992 (curated by Phillips), Winters has had exhibitions at The Tate Gallery, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Walker Art Center, MOCA Los Angeles, Kunsthalle, Basel, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. He has also frequently collaborated with writers, including Jean Starobinski, Ben Marcus, Eliot Weinberger, and Mark Melnicove, as well as choreographers—designing sets and costumes for Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown. His work on paper is currently the subject of an exhibition at The Drawing Center in New York. In 2013, Winters was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

As director of the New Museum for nearly two decades, Lisa Phillips realized the design and construction of its first dedicated freestanding building, by the architecture firm, SANAA, and is now spearheading a second building with Rem Koolhaas. At the New Museum, she curated exhibitions on the work of John Waters, Carroll Dunham, Paul McCarthy and Chris Burden. At the Whitney Museum, where she was a curator for two decades, Phillips presided over surveys of major influential artists including Terry Winters, Richard Prince, Frederick Kiesler and Cindy Sherman. She graduated cum laude from Middlebury College and did her doctoral work at the Graduate Center at CUNY. She lectures on contemporary art throughout the world and has served as a visiting critic at Yale University.

The Annual Robert Rosenblum Lecture honors the influential career of Robert Rosenblum (1927–2006), former Guggenheim Swid Curator of Twentieth-Century Art, and Henry Ittleson, Jr. Professor of Modern European Art, New York University. This series is facilitated by the donors to the Robert Rosenblum Fund who are gratefully acknowledged for their generosity.
