The Smithsonian American Art Museum is seeking a dynamic curator to oversee the museum’s collection of African American art, which includes more than 2500 artworks by 270 African American artists. The collection ranges from the 19th through the 21st centuries, with deep holdings by Edmonia Lewis, Bannister, Duncanson, Tanner, William H. Johnson, and work by self-taught and contemporary artists, as well as James Hampton’s Throne of the Third Heaven and an untitled verse jar by Dave Drake. The newly endowed position of Augusta Savage Curator of African American Art will develop collection strategies, exhibitions and publications, advise fellows and interns, and, notably, collaborate with the curatorial team to reinstall and reinterpret the permanent collection galleries.
