Museum Director Tracy Fitzpatrick, a white woman with brown hair wearing a black dress standing in a gallery with colorful artwork Who NEU? For more than five years (and hundreds of posts), Museum Director Tracy Fitzpatrick's blog has been keeping members and friends informed of the ‘backstory' behind all that is happening at the NEU.

From the Director.

  • Two members of the artist collective The Guerrilla Girls in black clothing and gorilla masks pose in front of a wall covered in graffitti

    backstory: backstory to the Guerrilla Girls backstory, and some good news

    Anonymity has always been a signature of the Guerrilla Girls’ practice. That said, many, many years ago, I was sitting in my office here at the Neuberger with one of the Guerrilla Girls: she had come to speak to a class of mine and was taking a break prior. I left the room, and, when I returned, she was sitting there with her mask off.

  • Three women in casual clothing writing with colored chalk on a large black chalkboard

    backstory: Sometimes you just feel like complaining

    It’s hot. It’s humid. The traffic on the Hutch in Mamaroneck…why, why is it always like that?

  • White gallery wall with exhibition title in red type and a brightly colored mural in the background

    backstory: Street murals extended

    If you haven’t had a chance to see Taking Collective Discontent to the Street: Nicolás de Jesús’s Street Banners there’s more time. We’re extending it until August 16.

  • Neuberger Museum Director Tracy Fitzpatrick comments on a large format reproduction of the Holt Broadside.

    backstory: Origin stories

    Our newest exhibition, The Declaration Distributed: Westchester County’s Holt Broadside of 1776, is an origin story… an origin story of the ways in which one sheet paper spread the word of New York’s July 9, 1776 adoption of the Declaration of Independence. What I want to share with you today, however, is the origin story of the exhibition.
