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. The Frick Collection is pleased to
announce the availability of the Andrew W. Mellon Predoctoral Curatorial
Fellowship for an outstanding doctoral candidate who wishes to pursue a
curatorial career in an art museum. Over the course of the two-year term,
the Fellow will be expected to divide his or her time between the
completion of the dissertation and activities in the curatorial department.
The Fellow will receive an annual stipend plus benefits. Applicants must be
within the final two years of completing their dissertations. The
application deadline is January 17. Please see www.frick.org for more information. 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.
Applications for Library internships should be submitted by March 15.
