The
Frick Collection and Art Reference Library offer fellowships and internships
to qualified graduate students who seek training as museum curators,
archivists, photo-archivists, librarians, and conservators. The Frick
Collection, founded by Henry Clay Frick and opened to the public in
1935, is
a world renowned collection of paintings, sculpture, and decorative
arts whose mission has always included the support of scholarship
through its publications, exhibitions, lecture programs, and annual
Symposium on the History of Art, hosted jointly with the Institute
of Fine Arts of New York University. At The Frick Collection, the
Andrew W. Mellon Predoctoral Curatorial Fellowship reinstates a fellowship
first established in the 1940s. Applicants for this position should
be doctoral candidates who wish to pursue a curatorial career in an
art museum and are within two years of completing their dissertation.
The appointment is for two years. The Curatorial Fellow, whose time
will be divided between completing his or her degree and gaining museum
experience, will work closely with the curatorial department on projects,
exhibitions, and symposia. The Frick Art Reference Library, founded
in 1920 by Helen Clay Frick, offers resources of particular value
to scholars engaged in object-based research and the history of collecting.
The Library houses more than 250,000 books, 70,000 auction sales catalogues,
a photo archive of approximately one million items, and archives containing
papers relevant to the institution, to Henry Clay Frick, and to the
work of important scholars on the history of art in the Western tradition.
The Frick Art Reference Library invites applications from M.A. candidates
and undergraduates for summer internship programs. The application
deadline for the Mellon Fellowship is July 1. Applications for Library
internships should be submitted by March 15. |
