Yes, Jim Miller was the founding director in 1975 and his curator at that time was Ms. Miller Keller. He is also represented in Jankowski's piece. I did not know about Judy Kim, but you are correct, Johanna Marsh was the immediate past curator. Interesting note...she left after getting an offer from Susan Talbott at the Smithsonian where she is now. That tidbit I picked up from the Beat Bike bloggers (of all places) over here [http://littleurl.net/a3e764] I was a huge fan of Sol's "Incomplete Open Cubes." Another tidbit, Nicholas Baume was just announced the new Executive Director of The Public Art Fund in New York. [http://littleurl.net/1c9] Yah, Carl Andre's piece was a City Commission but Andrea played a huge role in getting that to happen. Thanks again for the input. Susan, thanx for the info.

Former Atheneum curators Judy Kim (Brooklyn Museum of Art) and Johanna Marsh (Smithsonian) deserve recognition, too. Jankowski's "Matrix Effect" was commissioned during Baume's tenure . Also, MATRIX has not been relegated simply to two adjacent galleries off Avery Court. In this current decade, Baume installed LeWitt's "Incomplete Open Cubes" throughout the museum, and Kim worked with artist Patrick Killoran on "Autobody": two working taxis.... Andre's "Stone Field" was not commissioned by the Atheneum, however. Like Calder's "Stegosaurus," the Atheneum had some say, but neither are Atheneum accessions.
