"The twenty-sixth of the Walter Neurath Memorial Lectures which are given annually each spring on subjects reflecting the interests of the founder of Thames and Hudson." A printed lecture given by Linda Nochlin (1931-2017), an American art historian, author, and Professor Emerita of Modern Art at New York University Institute of Fine Arts.
