Presentation

Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is a public museum based in Madrid (Spain). The institution founding aims are the preservation, study, public display and promotion of the works of art that make up the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection. The Museum has an extensive display of nineteenth-century and twentieth century American paintings and has become an essential reference point for a study and knowledge of American Art in the European context. Funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza offers a two-year Fellowship (June 2020 to June 2022) in Madrid for a Junior Curator position for the research of the American Art collection, particularly nineteenth century painting.

The Terra Foundation for American Art is dedicated to fostering exploration, understanding, and enjoyment of the visual arts of the United States for national and international audiences. Recognizing the importance of experiencing original works of art, the foundation provides opportunities for interaction and study, beginning with the presentation and growth of this own art collection in Chicago. To further cross-cultural dialogue on American art, the foundation supports and collaborates on innovative exhibitions, research, and educational programs. Implicit in such activities is the belief that art has the potential both to distinguish cultures and to unite them. The position will become available approximately June 1, 2020.

The Fellow will be part of the Modern Painting department with access to curators, conservators, and other departments. The fellow curator will develop an in-depth research of the American works of the permanent collection of the museum. In consultation and collaboration with the Modern Painting Department the result of the research will be presented in a new display of the American collection and a scholarly publication and two International Symposia.
