February 6 – A Conversation on the Life of Artists’ Estates

How do you understand the task of managing an artist’s estate? What is the balance between managing the materials and less-tangible elements like the artist’s persona or reputation? Join Keith Wilson, Director of the Graduate Center’s Center for the Humanities, and Lisa Le Feuvre, inaugural Executive Director of the Holt-Smithson Foundation, for an informal open conversation about the legacy of land artists Nancy Holt (1938–2014) and Robert Smithson (1938–73).

This conversation will also be the soft opening for the exhibition ISO 6346: ineluctable immigrant by artist Ellen Rothenberg in the James Gallery.

Co-sponsored by the PhD Program in Art History at the Graduate Center, CUNY.
