CASVA also announced the appointment of six senior and four visiting senior fellows, the Edmond J. Safra Guest Scholar for spring 2008, two postdoctoral fellows, 18 predoctoral fellows, and four predoctoral fellowships for historians of American art to travel abroad.
CASVA was founded 28 years ago to promote the study of the history, theory, and criticism of art, architecture, and urbanism through the formation of a community of scholars. A variety of private sources supports the program of fellowships, and the appointments are ratified by the Gallery’s Board of Trustees.
The position of Samuel H. Kress Professor was created in 1965. It is reserved for a distinguished art historian who, as the senior member of CASVA, pursues scholarly work and counsels predoctoral fellows in residence.
Rudolf Preimesberger is professor emeritus at the Freie Universität Berlin. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Vienna in 1962. Professor Preimesberger has been a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences since 1992, and the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft zu Berlin since 1983. He has held fellowships at the University of Jena, Getty Research Institute, and University of Basel.
The position of Andrew W. Mellon Professor was created in 1994 for distinguished academic and museum professionals. Mellon professors serve two consecutive years and pursue independent research at CASVA while collaborating in scholarly exchanges with the Mellon senior curator and Mellon head of scientific research.
Elizabeth Hill Boone serves as professor and Martha and Donald Robertson Chair in Latin American Art at Tulane University. An expert in Latin American art, Professor Boone has earned numerous honors and fellowships, including the Order of the Aztec Eagle from the United States of Mexico and the Avery Prize for best book on Latin American art from the Association for Latin American Art in 2001. Her most recent book, Cycles of Time and Meaning in the Mexican Books of Fate (2007), explores how pre-contact Mesoamericans used pictographic calendars to guide their decisions in life. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1977.
