James T. Demetrion Lecture: Simon Schama on The Beast in Contemporary Art
Tue, Jun 1 2010
If all figurative art approaches taxidermy in its crafty fixing of vitality, British contemporary artists have taken on board the conceit with striking compulsiveness. From Damien Hirst's sharks and sheep to Mark Wallinger's pedigree racehorses, sleekness and slaughter seem to be their thing. So what are they getting at and why should we care? Simon Schama, professor of art history and history at Columbia University, offers some clues.Length: 1:19:00

Valerie Fletcher on Maximum Effect from Minimum Means: Josef Albers
Thu, Apr 8 2010
When Josef Albers came to the United States from Germany in 1933, he brought art and ideas grounded in utopian idealism and pure abstraction that he explored and shared throughout his career, including during his tenure at Black Mountain College in North Carolina in the 1930s and 1940s and at Yale University in the 1950s. Senior curator Valerie Fletcher examines how this artist tirelessly pursued the elusive subtleties of materials, form, and, most notably, color, and inspired countless students with his expertise, insight, and enthusiasm.Length: 39:28
