Judith Greer established her reputation as an expert on Japanese contemporary art and culture during her thirteen years in Tokyo.  Co-author of the definitive “Tokyo City Guide” (1983), she worked as a freelance journalist, consultant and coordinator for projects including the Walker Art Center’s groundbreaking 1986 exhibition “Tokyo Form and Spirit”.  From 1986 to 1993 she worked at Tokyo’s Hara Museum of Contemporary Art where she became Director of International Programs.  A patron of numerous art institutions, she is a trustee of the Artangel, the London-based arts organization known for realizing artists’s visions through exceptional commissions in sites across the U.K.  She has given talks and participated in panels in both English and Japanese on subjects including art in public places, the role of the museum, on contemporary art collecting and the importance of both individual and corporate arts patronage.
