"It is rare that we have the opportunity to celebrate our own ecosystem." —Richard Armstrong

Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and Museum, Richard Armstrong, and Serpentine Gallery Codirector, Hans Ulrich Obrist, discuss the legacy of Walter Hopps, one of the 11 groundbreaking curators gathered together in A Brief History of Curating, Obrist's most recent book.
