NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART NAMES JONATHAN BOBER SENIOR CURATOR OF PRINTS AND DRAWINGS

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC announced last week that Jonathan Bober has been named the Andrew W. Mellon senior curator of prints and drawings. Bober has been the head curator of old master prints at the institution since 2011. He has also been responsible for spearheading the acquisition of 2,000 prints—mostly from nineteenth-century Italy and eighteenth-century Venice—making the National Gallery the leading repository of such works within the United States.

Earl A. Powell III, the museum’s director, said “Jonathan Bober is a brilliant curator and connoisseur with an outstanding track record of exhibitions and publications, and a remarkable degree of knowledge about both prints and drawings. We are delighted that he is assuming this prestigious role in our curatorial ranks.”
