From 1990 to 2002 he was the Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), stepping down as Senior Curator in 2002. Professor Storr's accomplishments span the art world. He is a painter, an art historian and critic, and a prodigious writer about the theory and practice of Art. He has been the curator of many exhibitions at the MoMA and elsewhere, and the author of dozens of monographs and catalogues. He also organized a number of reinstallations of MoMA's permanent collection, covering such topics as abstraction and the modern grotesque. Professor Storr received his BA from Swarthmore College in 1972 and his MFA in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1978. He and his wife, Rosamund Morley, an accomplished musician, live in Brooklyn with their two daughters.
