To accompany An Unruly Assembly: Selections from the Culley Collection of Woodblock Prints, filmmaker Noah Rosenberg sat down with members of the research team to commemorate the first exhibition devoted to the collection in 60 years. Representing the avant-garde revival in the early twentieth century of one of the oldest printing techniques, the collection is a rich array of technical prowess, visionary expressions, blistering social critiques, and utopian dreams.
On Tuesday, October 21 from 12 to 1 pm (PDT), the Benton will offer a screening of Rosenberg’s 13-minute film with commentary and a Q&A with the scholars who brought the collection to life. Join Benton director Victoria Sancho Lobis, print dealer and historian Armin Kunz, and curatorial intern Arivumani Srivastava PO ’26 on Zoom to watch the film and hear firsthand how art historical research finds its way to gallery walls.
Victoria Sancho Lobis is the Sarah Rempel and Herbert S. Rempel ’23 Director of the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College and associate professor of art history. Her curatorial and scholarly work treats subjects such as viceregal Latin American art, Dutch and Flemish prints and drawings, contemporary works on paper, and the history of collecting.
Armin Kunz is an art historian and owner of the prints and drawings dealership C.G. Boerner, based in New York and Düsseldorf, Germany. His areas of specialty include the history of printmaking and the arts of Germany during the early modern and Romantic periods.
Arivumani Srivastava is an undergraduate at Pomona College studying Computer Science and Art History. A student in the fall 2024 Print Cultures seminar taught by Victoria Sancho Lobis, he went on to conduct archival research on the Culley Collection as a curatorial intern.
