Alison de Lima Greene is the Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where she has served on the curatorial staff since 1984. A member of the curatorial team responsible for the inaugural presentations in the MFAH’s new Nancy and Rich Kinder Building in 2020, her exhibitions include retrospectives devoted to Mark Rothko, Philip Guston, and Tamara de Lempicka, as well as special installations planned in collaboration with Yayoi Kusama, Pipilotti Rist, and Anicka Yi.

“With over 1,500 works submitted by 234 artists for consideration, I was impressed by how urgently artists have responded to the opportunity to exhibit their work. Naturally I recognized a number of the artists from previous exhibitions, but it was exhilarating to encounter new talent as well. What stood out for me was how many artists chose to mine personal experiences, drawing on family ties, heritage, and the tangible world around us. At the same time, others chose to depart into new and uncharted realms. Ultimately, practical limits of time and space narrowed the selection to 60 artists, whose paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, and works on paper reveal the enormous potential of the state we’re in.”
