|
| The Wolfsonian–Florida International
University promotes the examination of modern material culture to
enhance the understanding and appreciation of objects as agents and
reflections of social, political, and technological change. The core
of the Wolfsonian collection is North American and European decorative,
propaganda, and fine arts of the period 1885-1945. The collection
includes furniture, paintings, sculpture, glass, ceramics, and works
on paper. The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and the
Netherlands are the countries most comprehensively represented. There
are also smaller but significant collections of materials from a
number of other countries, including Austria, France, Japan, Czechoslovakia,
the former Soviet Union and Hungary. The Wolfsonian library has approximately
50,000 rare books, periodicals, and ephemeral items, as well as standard
reference materials. Wolfsonian fellowships, offered annually, are
granted on the basis of outstanding professional or academic accomplishment
and are limited to those holding at least a master’s degree.
Doctoral candidates are eligible to apply for dissertation research
related to the Wolfsonian collection. Appointments are generally
for three to five weeks. The application deadline is December 31
for residency during the following academic year. |
