Artist, critic and curator Robert Storr will present the final Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist Lecture of the spring series 5:30 p.m. April 5 in Richards Hall, Room 15.

The lecture is free and open to the public.

Storr was appointed professor of painting/printmaking and dean of the Yale University School of Art in 2006. He has coordinated the Projects series from 1990 to 2000, mounting exhibitions with Art Spiegelman, Ann Hamilton and Franz West, among others.

He has been a contributing editor at Art in America since 1981 and writes frequently for Artforum, Parkett, Art Press (Paris), Frieze (London) and Corriere della Serra (Milan). He has also written numerous catalogs, articles and books, including Philip Guston (Abbeville, 1986), Chuck Close (with Lisa Lyons, Rizzoli, 1987) and the forthcoming “Intimate Geometries: The Work and Life of Louise Bourgeois.”

In 2000, the French Ministry of Culture presented him with the medal of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres and subsequently awarded him the status of officer in the same order. From 2005 to 2007 he was visual arts director of the Venice Biennale, the first American invited to assume that position.
