Authors

Preface by Pamela Franks

Photo essay by Victoria Sambunaris

Essays by Timothy Applebee, Sonali Chakravarti, Shannon N. Foshe, Kate Howe, Harriet Salmon, Catherine Sellers, and Sydney Skelton

Responding to Kahn: A Sculptural Conversation accompanies the first in the Yale University Art Gallery’s successful series of student-organized exhibitions. The postwar works of art in the catalogue represent major recent developments in the field of sculpture and interact with the renovated spaces of the Gallery’s Louis Kahn building, highlighting the building itself as an important part of the collection. This project provided an opportunity for students to manage every aspect of planning and executing a museum exhibition and publication. The catalogue includes essays by each of the student curators and object entries on each of the sculptures, all of which examine the exchange and interplay between art and site.
