Sometimes we in the prep department at the Hammer Museum find ourselves far away from hanging a framed work on the wall. Sometimes we find ourselves melting 500 pounds of wax in the middle of the night.

My Academic Programs team has been hard at work over the past year shifting existing programming and developing new initiatives to better address our current climate and its impact on our audiences.

Supporting a free museum is a generous gesture, and it is an honor working with our Hammer members. I am so grateful to all of the members and my colleagues at the Hammer for building an inspiring community of individuals.

In this post, members of our curatorial team share their favorite art books of 2017. Most of them are available for purchase in the Hammer Store.
