Anne Collins Goodyear, Ph.D. is Co-Director, with Frank Goodyear, of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ College Museum of Art. She is a former Curator of Prints and Drawings at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, where she became the first curator to collect digital and time-based art. Goodyear has curated numerous exhibitions and published and lectured widely about modern and contemporary American art and portraiture. She is currently co-curating, with Jonathan Walz and Kathleen Campganolo, This Is a Portrait If I Say So: Identity in American Art, 1912–Today, which traces, over the course of the past century, the dissolution of a portraiture based on mimesis to one stressing instead conceptual and symbolic associations on the part of the maker with the portrait’s subject. The exhibition will open at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ College Museum of Art in June 2016 and will be accompanied by a catalogue published by Yale University Press.
Goodyear’s essays have appeared in several scholarly journals, which include American Art and Leonardo, and in edited volumes and exhibition catalogues such as Roger Shimomura: An American Knockoff (2014), R. Luke DuBois—Now (2014), The Network: Portrait Conversations (2012); The Political Economy of Art: Creating the Modern Nation of Culture (2008), Cold War Modern: Art and Design in a Divided World (2008), and Photography Theory (2007).
