Acclaimed photographer and philanthropist Judy Glickman Lauder speaks at the Sarasota Art Museum to launch the exhibition of her personal collection.

During the talk, Lauder discusses her long history as both a practitioner and a collector of the medium, explaining the criteria and the personal relationships that guided her acquisitions over decades. The presentation illuminates the historical weight of the assembled images, framing them not just as individual artworks, but as a cohesive, lifelong curatorial vision.
