In a University-wide email on Tuesday, University President Peter Salovey announced Courtney J. Martin GRD ’09 as the next director of the Yale Center for British Art. Martin, a scholar of contemporary British art who focuses on the 20th century, has extensive experience as a historian, curator and educator.
“[Martin] is committed to providing outstanding educational opportunities for our students, scholarly material for our faculty, and enriching experiences for the thousands of visitors that come to the YCBA every year,” Salovey said in the Tuesday morning email. “In addition, she is both attentive to the core collection of 17th, 18th, and mid-19th century art as well as modern and contemporary British art. I know that she will ensure the YCBA’s ever-increasing international prominence in the years ahead.”
