This year we are honored to welcome Timothy Standring as our guest curator.
Timothy J. Standring is the Gates Foundation Curator of Painting & Sculpture at the Denver Art Museum. Since he began at the Denver Art Museum in 1989, Standring has led a significant initiative to make art and art history accessible to a broader public and has served the Denver Art Museum in many capacities, from Deputy Director, to Chief Curator, to the Curator of the Berger Collection. He has curated over ten exhibitions at the Denver Art Museum and has published widely in the Burlington Magazine, the Print Quarterly, Artibus et Historiae, Renaissance Quarterly, and more recently, in Apollo. His essays and reviews reflect his broad interests including the art collecting habits of 17th-century Roman patrons, monographic studies on European artists, British watercolor sketching, Impressionist portraits, Poussin’s early works, and exhibition reviews.
Prior to his work at the Museum, Standring spent much of his career in academia, holding a position as Director of the School of Art and Art History at the University of Denver and faculty appointments at Pomona College, Lawrence University, and Loyola University of Chicago. He has served as a Fellow at The Clark Art Institute, a Guest Scholar at the J. Paul Getty Museum, and a Senior Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Visual Arts (CASVA) at the National Gallery of Art, in addition to numerous other grants. He received his B.A. from the University of Notre Dame; his MA and PhD from the University of Chicago and is currently writing a book on how art historians uncover the past, using the Genoese artist Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione as the primary focus of this project. He is also in the middle of organizing his next major exhibition, one which focuses on two years in the life of Van Gogh: 1887.
