While delighted for him, we are sad to
announce that Distinguished Curator of
Prints, Drawings and Photographs Andrew
Stevens will retire on October 5, 2018.
During his thirty years of service to the Museum and
the University, Stevens doubled the size of the works on
paper collection and planned more than 90 exhibitions,
introducing many aspects of the collection (and loaned
material) to the community. He hosted hundreds
of classes in the Print Study, where students could
examine artworks in person.
“This has been a great gig for me,” said Stevens. “Being
allowed to explore the collection and report back
what I’ve found—in the form of exhibitions and class
discussions—has been a signal honor; having made
a living doing so places me in a vanishingly small
proportion of people whose work and pleasure coincide.”
Watanabe: Japanese Print Envoy will be Steven’s final
exhibition as a staff member. He will present a public
lecture July 12 (see calendar for details).
