DOROTHY MILLER, PIONEERING CURATOR, IS DEAD AT NINETY-NINE

Dorothy Miller, one of the first curators hired by the Museum of Modern Art, in 1934, and the woman responsible for pioneering exhibitions of new American artists that helped propel generations of painters like Pollock, Rothko, Frank Stella, and Jasper Johns onto the international scene, died on July 10 at her apartment in Greenwich Village, Michael Kimmelman writes in the New York Times. She was ninety-nine.
