The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has named Kimberly Masteller as its first Jeanne McCray Beals Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art.
She joins the Museum in December, coming from the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard University where she served as assistant curator of Islamic and Later Indian Art.
The endowed curatorship will be supported through a matching grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and is named after longtime supporter of the Museum Jeanne McCray Beals, who collected art, including South and Southeast Asian pieces.
Masteller will be providing conceptual artistic direction for the presentation and interpretation of the collection that will lead to its eventual reinstallation.
