How Cecily Brown reinterprets the masters within the walls of The Met
In short: Artist Cecily Brown sits down with curator Adam Eaker to discuss her unique creative process and the deep influence of art history on her work. This conversation offers a rare look at the inspirations behind her first major New York City museum survey.
The discussion centers on Brown’s engagement with historical art and the specific pieces within The Met collection that have shaped her practice. The event serves as a companion to the exhibition 'Cecily Brown: Death and the Maid,' which marks the artist's first comprehensive museum survey in New York City.
The exhibition, introduced by curator Ian Alteveer, was on display from April 4th to December 3rd, 2023. It was made possible through the support of Agnes Gund and The Modern Circle, with additional contributions from various foundations and galleries, including the Paula Cooper Gallery and Thomas Dane Gallery.
