Barbara London is a curator and author who founded the Museum of Modern Art's video-media exhibition and collection programs in the mid-1970s. She wrote Video Art/The First Fifty Years (Phaidon, 2020).

I wanted to get what I considered some of the best into the MoMA collection, knowing that record companies do not take care of their masters. This is work that's there for posterity.

I'm in MoMA because of Barbara London. It's thanks to her that she had the vision to introduce this work.
