  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 9, 2019 the DAVIS MUSEUM at WELLESLEY COLLEGE PROMOTES AMANDA GILVIN to SONJA NOVAK KOERNER '5
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 9, 2019 THE DAVIS MUSEUM AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE PROMOTES AMANDA GILVIN TO SONJA NOVAK KOERNER ’51 SENIOR CURATOR OF COLLECTIONS AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF CURATORIAL AFFAIRS WELLESLEY, Mass. – Lisa Fischman, Ruth Gordon ’37 Shapiro Director of the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, has promoted Amanda Gilvin as the inaugural Sonja Novak Koerner ’51 Senior Curator of Collections and Assistant Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Davis Museum. The endowment of the position was established in 2019 with the generosity of Wellesley College Alumnae Sonja Novak Koerner (’51) and her husband Michael M. Koerner. In her new position, Gilvin will work with Fischman to oversee all curatorial matters at the Museum, define the vision and direction for the collections, generate publications, and create programs that draw on and expand the mission of the institution. She will supervise the curatorial department, coordinating closely with other Davis departments as well as with faculty, students, and staff on the Wellesley College campus. Gilvin assumed her new role on July 1, 2019. “Since her arrival three years ago, Amanda has been an ambitious force at the Davis,” said Fischman. “She has undertaken extensive research into the history of collecting African art at Wellesley College, mined the Museum’s collections to organize several intellectually and aesthetically inspiring exhibitions, and re-staged the permanent collections galleries to highlight African art. She has also developed an innovative partnership with Wellesley’s department of computer science—to enrich and contextualize what has heretofore been an understudied area of our holdings through the application of AR technology in our galleries.
