Carol Mancusi-Ungaro

is the Melva Bucksbaum Associate Director for Conservation and Research at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Artists make art and conservators preserve that art for posterity. The creative impulses differ but the engagement with material, sensitive regard for appearance, exquisite play with intention, and flat-out work bear a comfortable familiarity that enables intellectual interplay between them.
