Biography

[edit]

Charlotte Eyerman is the daughter of artist and psychotherapist, Sun Smith-Foret,[6] and Edward L. Eyerman, Jr., a neurologist[7][8] and art collector. She was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri.[9] She received her master's degree in 1990 and her PhD in the History of Art in 1997 from the University of California, Berkeley.[9] At Union College in Schenectady, New York, Eyerman was Assistant Professor of Art History (1994-2001).

Eyerman served as the Director of the French American Museum Exchange (FRAME) North America (2010–2013),[10] Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, Missouri (2006–2009).[6][11] As Curator, she oversaw the installation of the 2009 exhibition, Action/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning, and American Art, 1940-1976, which won an award from the Association of Art Museum Curators for best installation or exhibition.[12] Before that, Eyerman served as Assistant Curator of Paintings, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California (2002–2006).[6] In 2013, she became the executive director of the Monterey Museum of Art.[13]

As independent curator, Eyerman's exhibitions include Just Add Water at the Natural History Museum Los Angeles County (2013–2015),[14] Cubisti Cubismo at the Complesso Monumentale del Vittoriano in Rome, Italy (2011–13),[15] Pacific Standard Time at the Natural History Museum Los Angeles County,[16] and Artistic Evolution at the Natural History Museum Los Angeles County (2010–2012).[17][18] In 2012, Eyerman gave a TEDx talk on Artist as Muse, in Santa Monica, California.[19]

Work

[edit]

Along with Mary Morton, the associate curator of paintings at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Eyerman coauthored the work published by the museum that accompanied the 2006 exhibition of a collection of curated works of Gustave Courbet's landscapes Courbet and the Modern Landscape (2006).[20] The publication groups the art by topography and also "succeeds in presenting Courbet in a new light," according to Library Journal.[21] The Art Book wrote "It is a handsome publication, a welcome addition to any library, public or private."[22]

The book, Old Masters, Impressionists, and Moderns (2002) collects the "big names" of French artists from the collection of the State Pushkin Museum in Moscow.[23]
