Storr and Coyne

Both Petah Coyne and Robert Storr will be visiting the UConn campus this friday... :) !!! :)

Mr. Storr is an acclaimed curator, academic, critic and painter. From 1990 to 2002 he was Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2002 he became the first Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. He has since taught at the Bard Center for Curatorial Studies, the Rhode Island School of Design and Harvard University. Among his many distinctions, he served as director of the 2007 Venice Biennial, the first American invited to fill the prestigious position. In 2006 Mr. Storr was appointed professor of painting/printmaking and Dean of the Yale School of Art. New York Magazine described him as a “vital link between the museum world and academia.”

Coyne’s work is in many important collections including: Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, High Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, The Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art.
