Marking a milestone in the institution’s history, the Pulitzer Arts Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary with Dialogues and Conversations, curated by Founder and Board Chair Emily Rauh Pulitzer. The exhibition honors the Pulitzer’s first 25 years while highlighting Emily Rauh Pulitzer’s curatorial legacy, close collaborations with artists, and art historical interests. Drawn largely from the collection of Mrs. Pulitzer and the late Joseph Pulitzer Jr., the exhibition features significant works by artists including Mark Rothko, Edgar Degas, Alberto Giacometti, Ellsworth Kelly, Richard Serra, and Doris Salcedo, among others.
This exhibition is organized by Emily Rauh Pulitzer, Founder and Board Chair at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, with Molly Moog, Curatorial Associate.
