Vivien Fryd, professor of history of art, will lead the tour, and students and faculty should plan to meet in Cohen’s 21st Avenue lobby at 5:00 pm.

Fryd will lead participants in understanding major movements within American art history from 1920 to 1950 as represented by works in the current exhibit, which features a survey of works from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s drawn from the Whitney.

Anyone interested in the HART-sponsored tour at the Frist should RSVP (by September 17) to Jodi Chamberlain at jodi.l.chamberlain@vanderbilt.edu.
