Specialist note

Kynaston McShine was an influential curator who worked at the Museum of Modern Art and the Jewish Museum in New York. He initiated MoMA’s “Projects” series, which gave up and coming artists the chance to show new work at the museum in the 1970s. His most influential shows included “Primary Structures” at the Jewish Museum, which brought Minimalism to a larger audience in America, and “Information,” a creative survey of Conceptual art that reimagined many elements of a traditional museum show.
