Gabriel is finishing up his Ph.D in art history at UCLA as well as a Doctoral Fellowship at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. He brings with him a breadth of knowledge and experience on modern and contemporary art. His work in the field spans multiple continents, where he has worked for several museums, served as an independent curator, organized exhibitions of emerging artists, and published scholarly papers. Ritter will also serve as one of three curators for the upcoming 2013 Roppongi Crossing exhibition held by the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.
