Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University
We are deeply grateful to Nancy and David for their generosity and commitment in spearheading this transformative project! I also applaud former Director Sarah Schroth for her initial vision for the sculpture garden many years ago. We’re thrilled that our community will soon have almost nine acres around the museum to explore and experience art in nature. I’m very proud to be a part of a museum and a university that are so visibly prioritizing visitor accessibility, community and the environment with this project.

Bank of America Gift to Nasher Museum Saves Painting from “Dustbin of History”
Bank of America has committed $100,000 to the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University to restore a masterpiece by the late artist Elizabeth Murray. She was part of a generation of abstract painters in New York City during the 1970s and ‘80s that was experimenting with a new formal language. Her painting Bob, after a yearlong conservation effort, will be on public view at the Nasher for the first time in 45 years. “We believe we saved this painting from the dustbin of history. It had been out of the public eye for a very long time. We have a chance to give it a second life.” — Chief Curator Marshall N. Price
The New York Times Book Review
"This book, which will accompany a traveling exhibition, offers a sweeping exploration of the vast and mismatched time scales of photography, climate change and 'deep time' of geologic history. Looking is hard; not looking will end up being harder." —Tatiana Schlossberg, in a review of the exhibition catalogue for Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene.
