The Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund at the New Museum was created in 2009 to support a new series of public lectures and presentations by cultural visionaries.¹ The Visionaries Series at the New Museum presents leading international thinkers in the fields of art, architecture, design, and related disciplines of contemporary culture, to promote the innovations shaping intellectual life and defining the future now. The Fund was established by a major gift from Barbara Gladstone in honor of her late son Stuart Regen.² Regen was founder of the leading Los Angeles gallery Regen Projects, and among the first to champion and exhibit work by such artists as Charles Ray, Raymond Pettibon, Matthew Barney, and Catherine Opie.
