Location: Lemon Art Research Library

Phoenix Art Museum is currently exhibiting “Guarding the Art: A Frontline Perspective.” This unique exhibition challenges traditional museum hierarchies by producing a show comprised of works selected by guest curators from among the Museum’s frontline staff.

Join Librarian Jesse Alexander Lopez and Cohn Assistant Curator of Contemporary and Community Art Initiatives, Christian Ramirez, to discuss “All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley.  Patrick Bringley is a former New Yorker staffer who spent a decade as a frontline museum guard at the famed institution.

“An astounding book about an astounding place. All the Beauty in the World is at once a keenly intelligent examination of the power of art and a profoundly empathetic exploration of the workaday culture that makes art visible to all.” —Alex Ross, New Yorker staff writer and author of Wagnerism and The Rest is Noise
