Art Journal has a new editor-in-chief, Sarah Lawrence professor Judith Federika Rodenbeck, and The Art Bulletin has a new reviews editor, Harvard professor David J. Roxburgh, whose 2001 book Prefacing the Image received a glowing review from Kishwar Rizvi in The Art Bulletin — “an important book … a welcome corrective and critique.”
Incoming CAA director Linda Downs, formerly the executive director of the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, Iowa (and before that director of education at the National Gallery in Washington), has not completed her PhD (in cultural history, at American University), but her publications on Diego Rivera were heartily acclaimed by David Craven in the Latin American Research Review in 1999: “With this book [Diego Rivera: The Detroit Industry Murals], she emerges as the heir apparent to the late Stanton Catlin as the dean of Rivera studies in the United States.”
