Mama MoMA
This 2003 article from New York Magazine offers a exceptional portrait of Dorothy Miller, definitely one in 8 million. In a world dominated by men, she was the first curator at MoMA and is responsible for introducing the world to artists such as Frank Stella, Franz Kline and Mark Rothko. Without her, her friends Walker Evans, Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Joan Miro, Arshile Gorky and Willem de Kooning might not have become giants of Abstract Expressionism. On Monday, March 28, we’ll meet at the FEIT seminar room and then visit The James Gallery’s exhibition “The Making of Americans” and see what’s so special about Abstract Expressionism, New York and Mama MoMA, Ms. Dorothy Miller.
