MOMA PROMOTES THREE CURATORS

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has announced that several of its curators have been promoted: Jodi Hauptman and Starr Figura are now senior curator and curator, respectively, in the department of drawings and prints, while Joshua Siegel has been named a curator in the department of film. Hauptman joined the museum in 2002. She is the author of Joseph Cornell: Stargazing in the Cinema (1999) and winner of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Charles Eldredge prize for distinguished scholarship in American art. Figura, meanwhile, had served in the department of prints and illustrated books since 2008, where she was Phyllis Ann and Walter Borten associate curator. She organized “German Expressionism: The Graphic Impulse” in 2011. Siegel, who’s been with the museum since 1993, has organized or coorganized over ninety exhibitions, including “Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema,” which opened earlier this year.
