Remembering Things Past: A Conversation Celebrating Anne Truitt




Last nights discussion at the Hirshhorn "moderated by Tim Gunn, chief creative officer at Liz Claiborne and former student of Truitt’s. Artist Martin Puryear, filmmaker Jem Cohen, photographer John Gossage, and associate curator Kristen Hileman share their unique perspectives on Truitt’s career as artist, professor, and author."

This panel was very unique in the sense that I walked away with a much better understanding of Truitt as a artist and a person. The format was a somewhat casual conversation between people who evidently had amazing experiences having Truitt in their lives. It was interesting hearing the perspectives of her past student (Tim Gunn) as well as colleagues and dear friends.
