Lippard is a former art critic for “Art in America,” “The Village Voice” and “Z magazine,” as well as the author of 18 books on subjects ranging from Pop art to Native American art.
Her theorizing reaches into all realms of art, while her texts offer new ways to understand the social and political impulses that create art, and which art, in turn, creates.
As one of the earliest feminists, she brought the aesthetic, economic, material, and practical concerns of women artists into the art-historical dialogue.
Calvin Horn was a business and political leader of New Mexico who was involved in the oil and publishing industries, served ten years in the New Mexico Legislature and nine years on the UNM Board of Regents.
The lecture is sponsored by the University of New Mexico Press, the Center for the Southwest and the Department of History, and is endowed by Calvin Horn.
This event is free and open to the public
