MFA contemporary curator update

In July 2008, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts announced that its contemporary art curator, Cheryl Brutvan, would leave before the end of the year. Now, more than a year later, the job remains unfilled.

“The search for the contemporary curator is underway,” MFA spokesperson Kelly Gifford told me last week when I inquired about the status of the job. “The position is the Beal Senior Curator for Contemporary Art (it was not a senior curatorial position before) and the focus remains building the MFA’s contemporary collection of art, organizing exhibitions, etc.”

How about we promote MFA Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art William Stover?
