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 and the Center for the History of Collecting in America at
the Frick Art Reference Library offer pre-doctoral and post-doctoral
research fellowships to qualified graduate students and senior scholars. The
Frick Collection is pleased to announce the availability of the Andrew W.
Mellon Pre-doctoral 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.
The Frick Art Reference
Library, founded in 1920 by Helen Clay Frick, offers resources of particular
value to scholars engaged in object-oriented research and the history of
collecting. The Library houses more than 2750,000 books, 86,000 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 Center for the History of Collecting in America was
established in 2007 to stimulate awareness and study of art collecting in
the United States from Colonial times to the present. The Center offers four
short-term fellowships for pre-doctoral students and for post-doctoral and
senior scholars (each for a maximum of 10 weeks). In addition, two
semester-long Leon Levy Fellowships are awarded to senior scholars each
year. In all cases preference is given to researchers whose projects are
particularly appropriate to the resources available a the Frick Art
Reference Library. Application deadlines for the Summer/Fall fellowship term
is February 15th, and for the Winter/Spring term the deadline is October
15th.
