Kathryn Calley Galitz, art historian, and Managing Museum Educator, Museum Teaching and Volunteer Administration
Richard Avedon’s monumental photomurals embody the intersection of portraiture, celebrity, and group identity. Join Kathryn Calley Galitz as she explores their place within the established tradition of group portraiture—including Rembrandt’s portraits of the citizens of the Dutch Republic as well as family portraits—and considers their artistic legacy.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Richard Avedon: MURALS.

The Factory produced some really excellent film and still photography.
Would have been an excellent place to be in the early seventies.
We visited The Met recently and it’s great to hear her speaking about it. Thank you for the presentation!
