The Rachofsky Collection Graduate Symposium
View Past SymposiaThe Graduate Symposium is a natural out-growth of the goals of The Rachofsky Collection and The Warehouse. This symposium aims to highlight emerging scholars presenting new perspectives on postwar and contemporary art, and to make the collection available to a wider national and international academic audience. Graduate students and recent graduates are invited to present their research on artists and works from the collection. As part of the program, students are given the opportunity to visit The Warehouse before the symposium to utilize our library and view works from the collection in person.
