Join the exhibition’s co-curators on a tour of this landmark exhibition.

Co-curators Kelly Baum and Randall Griffey take us on a virtual tour of Alice Neel: People Come First, which presents Alice Neel (1900–1984) as one of the twentieth century’s most radical artists and a champion of social justice whose longstanding commitment to humanist principles inspired her art.
