Maurice Tuchman

[2] Among his projects was LACMA's experimental Art and Technology program which presented emerging Light and Space artists Robert Irwin and James Turrell.

[3] His other notable exhibitions include The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890–1985 (1986), and Parallel Visions: Modern Artists and Outsider Art (1992); the former was the first large-format show to include Swedish painter Hilma af Klint 42 years after her death.

[4] In 1985, Tuchman was part of the international jury that awarded the Carnegie Prize to Anselm Kiefer and Richard Serra.

Tuchman said he had been demoted, with no warning, when a memo from Shapiro informed him that his job would be the newly created post of senior curator of 20th-century drawings.

[7] Along with fellow art historian Esti Dunow, Tuchman is co-author of the Chaïm Soutine catalogue raisonné.
