| 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 February 1. Applications for Library internships
should be submitted by March 15. |
