WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.- The Norton Museum of Art has appointed Dr. Regina Palm as the Harold and Anne Berkley Smith Senior Curator of Modern Art. Palm will join the Norton September 30, 2024. The Norton, in West Palm Beach, Florida, is internationally known for its Collection of Contemporary Art, Chinese Art, and Photography, as well as American and European Art, which Palm will oversee, particularly works created between the mid-1800s and 1960.
Palm joins the Norton from the San Antonio Museum of Art. Prior to her tenure in San Antonio, she held positions at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, the San Diego Museum of Art, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. She earned her Ph.D. in art history from the University of London, Birkbeck, and holds a master's degree from San Jose State University and a bachelors degree from California State University, Chico.
In this role, she will be responsible for the American and European Modern Art Collections, including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from the Modern era, from circa 1850 to 1960.
Palm will steward and interpret approximately 1,100 objects in this collecting area, developing the installation of the collection galleries with the Curatorial team. She also will lead the institutions acquisition strategy for Modern art, identifying and recommending new acquisitions and working closely with the Nortons Modern Acquisition Council.
Further, Palm will devise exhibitions based on rigorous research and original ideas that center on the art and artists who defined the late-19th and 20th centuries and identify opportunities for collaboration and activation of Collections alongside Arden Sherman, the Glenn W. and Cornelia T. Bailey Senior Curator of Contemporary Art. In realizing these goals, Palm will join the Curatorial Department as they work with the Learning and Community Engagement, Development, and Communications Departments, among others, to further the Nortons stated mission of welcoming visitors to experience the transformative power of art through intimate and creative encounters with wide-ranging collections and programs of the highest quality.
Dr. Regina Palms experience and expertise in Modern art will be an invaluable addition to the institution, especially in her focus on art created after the Industrial Age, said Ghislain dHumières, Kenneth C. Griffin Director and CEO. Rather than separate artworks by their geographic origins, this new structure of the position looks at the breadth of Modernism across the globe and allows for an international interpretation of what Modern art can and should encompass. The Nortons impressive holdings of Modern art, boasting masterpieces from Gauguin to OKeeffe, find a demonstrated partner in Reginas curatorial and research-driven leadership. Her talent for leveraging a museums collection strengths promises to be realized in groundbreaking new exhibitions.
Palm has curated several original exhibitions, including Canvas to Clay: Georgia OKeeffe & Maria Martinez to Mata Ortiz & Tonalá, forthcoming at the San Antonio Museum of Art; Questions of Identity; Abstract Revolution: Women Who Empowered a Movement; and American Still Life Moderns. She contributed to numerous exhibitions of Modern art, including Monet: The Late Years; A Modern Vision: European Masterworks from the Phillips Collection; Monet: The Early Years; Painters Eye; and Botticelli to Braque: Masterpieces from the National Gallery of Scotland.
I am delighted to be joining such an incredible team whose dedication to serving their community is palpable, said Palm. Since its inception, the Norton has set itself apart by endeavoring to collect exemplary works of Modern American and European art. It is my great privilege to become part of this legacy and shepherd the collection for the next generation. While it is not easy to say goodbye to the many tremendous individuals who are the heartbeat of the San Antonio Museum of Art, I am excited and honored to join my new colleagues at the Norton as we work together to continue to move the Museum and its programming forward.
