Biography
Charlotte Eyerman is the daughter of artist and psychotherapist, Sun Smith-Foret,[5] and Edward L. Eyerman, Jr., a neurologist[6] [7] and art collector. She was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri.[8] She received her master's degree in 1990 and her PhD in the History of Art in 1997 from the University of California, Berkeley. 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),[9] Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, Missouri (2006–2009).[5] [10] 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.[11] Before that, Eyerman served as Assistant Curator of Paintings, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California (2002–2006).[5] In 2013, she became the executive director of the Monterey Museum of Art.[12]
As independent curator, Eyerman's exhibitions include Just Add Water at the Natural History Museum Los Angeles County (2013–2015),[13] Cubisti Cubismo at the Complesso Monumentale del Vittoriano in Rome, Italy (2011–13),[14] Pacific Standard Time at the Natural History Museum Los Angeles County,[15] and Artistic Evolution at the Natural History Museum Los Angeles County (2010–2012).[16] [17] In 2012, Eyerman gave a TEDx talk on Artist as Muse, in Santa Monica, California.
Work
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).[18] The publication groups the art by topography and also "succeeds in presenting Courbet in a new light," according to Library Journal.[19] The Art Book wrote "It is a handsome publication, a welcome addition to any library, public or private."[20]
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.[21]
