Based in New York City, Peter Culver most recently served BNY Mellon as a senior wealth director, working for the company for 14 years. Outside of his professional work, Peter Culver supports a number of local art institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Operating out of three locations across New York City, the Met upholds the simultaneous goals of supporting fine arts studies and celebrating 5,000 years of art. As such, the museum hosts countless exhibitions each year that cover a wide range of artistic areas. During the remainder of 2016, the Met is featuring three key exhibits:
Kerry James Marshall
Through the support of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Ford Foundation, the Met will hold an exhibit of Kelly James Marshall’s works. From October 25, 2016-January 29, 2017, visitors at the Met Breuer will be able to view almost 80 pieces from Marshall’s career of over three decades. With a theme of breaking through societal stereotypes of people of color, the exhibit will feature pieces across such media as comic books, murals, and narrative paintings.
Diane Arbus
Entitled “In the Beginning,” the Diane Arbus exhibition at the Met, currently running, showcases over 100 images from the portfolio of the prolific photographer. In particular, the museum is displaying photos from the early portion of her career, when she cultivated the distinctive photography style for which she has become known. The exhibit at the Met Breuer will end on November 27, 2016.
Jerusalem 1000-1400
The Met’s upcoming Jerusalem 1000-1400 exhibit will focus primarily on those works that reflected the Holy City’s influence of art throughout that particular period. Thanks to around 60 international lenders, the exhibit will feature more than 200 different pieces. Hosted at the Met Fifth Avenue, Jerusalem 1000-1400 opens September 26 and runs through January 8, 2017.
