Denise Murrell

Denise Murrell is a curator at large for 19th- and 20th-century art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.[1][2] She is best known for her 2018 exhibition Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today, which explored how French Impressionist painters and later artists portrayed black models.

In 2019, the New York Observer included her on its "Arts Power 50" list of "individuals working to strengthen the impact, reach, social responsibility or financial stability of the arts industry".[3]
