During the opening of Matisse: Painter as Sculptor, Dorothy Kosinski appeared on WRR-FM (101.1) to discuss assembling the exhibition.
Dallas Museum of Art senior curator Dorothy Kosinski has a new job: She’s now the director of the 86-year-old Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., the nation’s first museum of modern art. And, notes The Washington Post this morning, the 12-year DMA veteran is only “the third official outside the Phillips family to lead the modern art facility” since its inception in 1921.
Kosinski, author of several DMA exhibit-related books published by Yale University Press, gets quite the playground: Notes the Phillips Collection’s Web site, it’s the home to Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party, “along with other outstanding Impressionist paintings by van Gogh, Monet, Degas and Cézanne.” –Robert Wilonsky
