Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, announced today that he made two recent appointments within the Museum's curatorial departments. Joanne Pillsbury, a specialist in the arts of the ancient Americas, joined the Museum's staff on September 9 as the Andrall E. Pearson Curator in the Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. And Ronda Kasl, a specialist in the art of Spain and Colonial Latin America, began work on July 1 as a Curator in the American Wing.
In making the announcement, Mr. Campbell stated: "The arrival of these two fine scholars will allow us to enhance and develop our coverage of artistic traditions that developed across the Americas both before colonialism and beyond. I look forward to working with Joanne to advance appreciation for the Met's ancient American holdings, an area in which the Museum has been a long-time leader, and to focusing with Ronda on building a significant representation of Colonial Latin American art."Videos
