'passion' to Yale Art Gallery staff
An extensive international search has yielded three new senior curators at the Yale University Art Gallery.
They are: Suzanne Boorsch, curator of prints, drawings and photographs; Jennifer Gross, the Seymour H. Knox, Jr. Curator of European and Contemporary Art; and Jean Cadogan, consulting curator in the European and Contemporary Art department.
"Each of these very talented individuals possesses a connoisseur's passion for art objects and an infectious enthusiasm for teaching, richly balanced with strong scholarly abilities and abundant administrative skills," says Jock Reynolds, the Henry J. Heinz II Director of the gallery. "Our venerable teaching museum is now fully staffed with a terrific team of accomplished curators, all of whom are leaders in their fields. They will be working with our entire staff and many Yale alumni to carry out the gallery's enduring mission as we prepare to renovate and expand our exhibition and teaching facilities during the next five years."
Boorsch comes to Yale from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where she has worked for 17 years. There, she organized numerous exhibitions, including the current show "Fireworks! Four Centuries of Pyrotechnics in Prints and Drawings," as well as "Venetian Prints and Books in the Age of Tiepolo" and three exhibitions on the Renaissance in France.
Gross was curator of contemporary art and public programming at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston for the past three years. There, she brought together numerous living artists with established collections at the museum, and helped create exhibition and publication projects with such Gardner Museum artists-in-residence as Jessica Stockholder, Abelardo Morrell, Lee Mingwei and Josiah McElheny.
Cadogan, considered one of America's foremost authorities on early Italian art, is an assistant professor of fine arts at Trinity College in Hartford. She has organized numerous exhibitions of European art and has written and lectured extensively, particularly on Italian art. Her latest book, "Domenico Ghirandaio, Artist and Artisan," will be published this year by the Yale University Press.
