Anissa and Paul John Balson II Senior Curator of Antiquities - Los Angeles, United States - J. Paul Getty Trust
Description
Job Summary
The J. Paul Getty Museum is seeking the next Anissa and Paul John Balson II Senior Curator of Antiquities to oversee curatorial and related scholarly and public activities at the Villa. The successful candidate will be responsible for the presentation and interpretation of the Villa's collection of ancient art and antiquities, and associated activities, including a vibrant program of international loan exhibitions.
The Senior Curator plays a lead role in building, documenting, installing, and interpreting the display collection of some 1,300 antiquities (plus a study collection), and in coordinating the Classical World in Context program of visiting scholars and exhibitions. The successful candidate also participates in developing the Villa's ambitious public programs (including the award winning Outdoor Classical Theatre series), in collaboration with other museum departments.
In 2013 the Museum initiated a series of exhibitions, supported by research, conferences, publications, and education programs under the rubric The Classical World in Context. The aim of this program is to provide a richer understanding of how the classical world interacted with the surrounding cultures of the Mediterranean, Near East, and beyond through trade, gift exchange, warfare, diplomacy, religion, and other modalities, having a crucial, and often reciprocal, impact on the cultural trajectories of those regions and peoples. On an approximately three-year cycle, each exhibition and its associated programming investigates the relations between the classical world and a particular non-classical culture/region. The underlying research is cross-cultural and interdisciplinary, utilizing a wide range of archaeological, textual, anthropological, and other evidence.
For the first such project, in the academic year, the Classical World in Context focused on Egypt and the Classical World from the Bronze Age to the coming of Christianity. The resulting exhibition Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical World opened at the Getty Center in March 2018. The second exhibition in the series, following the pandemic, was Persia: Ancient Iran and the Classical World in 2022. Upcoming exhibitions will include Ancient Thrace: Treasures from the Classical World , Anatolia and the Classical World (2026), and Phoenicians, Philistines, and Canaanites: The Levant and the Classical World
In 2021, the position of Senior Curator of Antiquities was endowed by Anissa and Paul John Balson II. In recognition of this endowment the full title was changed to the Anissa and Paul John Balson II Senior Curator of Antiquities.
This position reports to the Museum's Associate Director for Collections, and will work closely with the Museum's Director, who is also a specialist in ancient art.
