    The Art Newspaper exclusive on the memoir MoMA declined to publish: The details

    William S. Rubin, the eminent longtime curator of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), died, aged 78, at his weekend home on 22 January and has now been buried in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives. He had spent more than two decades in MoMA’s department of painting and sculpture, which he joined as curator in and of which he became director in , a post he held until his partial retirement in Shortly before his death, although in failing health, he invited The Art Newspaper to the spacious East Side apartment he shared with his wife Phyllis Hattis, to discuss a recently completed memoir of his career as a collector, teacher and curator. He said MoMA had declined to publish the manuscript and handed us a copy instead.

    The page typescript chronicles Rubin’s professional life, with particular focus on the museum’s complex relationships with dealers, trustees, collectors and artists. Few if any published accounts lay out these usually covert matters in such frank detail. In characteristically precise and elegant prose, he provides snapshots of art world personalities, observations on the market, seasoned critical aperçus, and a window into the internal workings of MoMA. But most of all, the memoir conveys the passion and intelligence with which Rubin tirelessly pursued great works of art on behalf of the museum. He saw collection building as the curator’s most important function and remained most proud of his achievement in this respect.

    Passionate collector

    The memoir, entitled A curator’s quest, is dedicated to MoMA’s founding director Alfred H. Barr, Jr, who hired Rubin in and set the example he would follow. “I hope that my additions to the collection have been worthy of the foundations Alfred laid,” he writes. That they were is evident from a second, unfinished portion of the planned book that is an illustrated catalogue of of the most important works he selected from the scores of wor
