Hunting and Gathering

Tuesday, May 20, 10:30am

As with the Museo de Arte de Ponce's founder, Luis A. Ferré, to be a collector is to pursue, possess and enjoy an assemblage of related objects. But how does a person decide what to collect or not to collect, and what is the ultimate goal? Join us as we explore the decisions and motivations behind the art of buying art through fascinating books such as The Strange Life of Objects, The Taste of Angels, Emily Hall Tremaine: Collector on the Cusp and more.

Behind the Curtain
Tuesday, June 17, 10:30am

Have you ever wondered how many people work at Phoenix Art Museum? Who does what? How does artwork end up on display? Inspired by Danny Danziger's book Museum: Behind the Scenes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Lemon Art Research Library welcomes a panel of staff members to share their day-to-day experiences.
