Anthony is Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Melbourne, and he’s an internationally recognized specialist of modern and contemporary art, especially Italian modernism. But he’s also worked on art and disability and outsider art, and his most recent books are Italian Modern Art in the Age of Fascism (2020) and Variations: A More Diverse Picture of Contemporary Art, co-authored with Tristen Harwood and Grace McQuilten (2023). Anthony has a very distinguished cv, including previous appointments as Curator of International Painting and Sculpture at the NGA and as President of the Art Association of Australian and New Zealand. Currently he is also Head of Program for Art History and Art Curatorship at Melbourne.

On 2 June, 6.00-7.00 pm at The Potter, Anthony White and Anne Dunlop will be in conversation with contemporary curator Carolyn Christov Bakargiev.  Christov Bakargiev has served as Chief Curator of P.S. 1 in New York and the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art in Turin, and her invited curations  include Documenta 13 and the 16th Sydney Biennial, among many others. Her visit is a multi-partner initiative, and AIAH is pleased to be working with colleagues at The Potter, the VCA, Art + Australia for the Melbourne leg of her national visit.
