Frankenthaler Prints Initiative
Three Georgia Museum of Art faculty members were awarded academic promotions this spring as part of more than 200 fac- ulty promotions university-wide. Callan Steinmann , curator of education; Jeffrey Richmond-Moll , curator of American art; and Shawnya L. Harris , Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Curator of African American and African Diasporic Art, were all promoted to senior academic professional. Richmond-Moll was a featured guest on the Modern Art Notes podcast (episode no. 597) in April. As one of two segments fea- tured on the episode, he discussed the exhibition “Object Lessons in American Art: Selections from the Princeton University Art Museum,” which was on view this spring. Listen to the podcast episode at: manpodcast.com/portfolio. An accompanying catalogue for the exhibition is still available to purchase via the Museum Shop, both in person and online. Ashlyn Davis , Pierre Daura Curatorial Research Assistant, left her position at the museum in May for a teaching position. Sage Kincaid , associate curator of education, departed the museum in June for a new position as a student advisor for the Frank- lin College of Arts and Science at UGA. Mallory Lind joined the museum as assistant curator of education in May. Lind earned her doctoral degree in art education, with a focus on museum education, from UGA in 2021, and her doctoral research focused on rural access to art museums. She also holds a master’s degree in art business from Sotheby's and a bachelor’s degree in art history from UGA. Lind has previously been an education intern, outreach instructor and student docent at the museum.
The Georgia Museum of Art is one of 10 recipients of the most recent round of the Frankenthaler Prints Initiative, an ongo- ing program for university-affiliated art museums to support undergraduate and graduate education in the visual arts and art history. Each selected museum will receive a group of prints and five to 10 related trial proofs from the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation’s extensive collections, as well as a one-time grant of $25,000 that can be used to develop a project or program for the study, presentation and interpretation of the gifted works within a three-year timeframe. Recipients were selected on two criteria: a demonstrated commitment to prints as both a signif- icant collection area and teaching tool and a collection that lacks works by Frankenthaler. In the first cycle of the initiative, in 2018, recipients produced nine exhibitions, four symposia and three academic courses. Fellow Georgia university museum, the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, used the award to hold printmaking workshops for local high school students. The initiative also aims to amplify the impact of Frankenthaler’s legacy, as one of the most important American abstract painters of the 20th century and an outspoken champion of arts edu- cation. The selected prints that each award recipient receives represent the range of media Frankenthaler used in her print- making, including etching, lithography, monotype or monoprint, pochoir, screenprint, woodcut and other techniques, as well as combinations of these methods.
