Thomas Crow, director of the Getty Research Institute, will

As head of the Getty Research Institute, Crow oversees one
of the world’s largest research centers for art and art
history. The institute houses an 800,000-volume library,
vast special collections of original documents and objects,

issues innovative publications. A member of the Pomona Class
of 1969, Crow is also a professor of art history at the
University of Southern California.
Crow is the author of Painters and Public Life in
Eighteenth-Century Paris (1985), which won the 1986
Marshall prize for the best first book by an art historian.
His more recent work includes Emulation (1995),
The Rise of the Sixties (1996), Modern Art in the
Common Culture (1996), The Intelligence of Art
(1999), and a monograph on the architect Gordon Matta-Clark
(2003). A contributing editor of the journal Artforum,
he writes frequently on contemporary art and cultural
issues.
The event is open to the public, and there is no cost to
attend. It will be held in the Pomona College Smith Campus
Center, Rose Hills Theater, 170 East 6th Street, Claremont.
