TEFAF Coffee Talk - Art, Nationality, and Global Modernism: Challenging a Familiar Narrative
As the notion of a prevailing center that dominates the periphery is rapidly changing in all areas of our interconnected world, museums and collectors too are carving out new relationships with the modern and contemporary art of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the assessment of international postwar Modernisms. This panel of international experts debates how museums and other cultural institutions have responded to this re-imagining of the history of Modernism and what effect that has on the acquisition and display of Modernist art.
PANEL
Layla Diba, Independent Curator, Pre-Modern and Modern Middle Eastern Art
Kevin Dumouchelle, Curator, National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution
Boon Hui Tan, Vice President, Global Arts and Cultural Programs, Asia Society, Director, Asia Society Museum
Leon Tovar, Leon Tovar Gallery
MODERATOR
Marc Pachter, Director Emeritus, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution
