Murrell is the curator of “Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today” at the Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University.

Amazon offers it for $50.

would like to know where the various works of art are today…would it be possible to add collection credits either under the photo or at the end?

Yes, we probably should. We pull a lot of images from various fair-use-focused sites, so collection info isn’t always included (which is why we don’t have it up there already). We’ll talk about it, see if we can try…. thanks for listening!!
