Descripción del Profesional del arte

The National Gallery of Art (NGA) in Washington, DC, has named, in May 2021, E. Carmen Ramos—currently acting chief curator and curator of Latinx art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum—as its chief curatorial and conservation officer. Ramos, who will assume her new role in August, will be the first person of color and the first woman to occupy the position. E. Carmen Ramos is the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s deputy chief curator and curator of Latino art; she joined the museum’s staff in 2010. Since then, she has dramatically expanded the museum’s pioneering collection of Latino art with an eye toward capturing the broad aesthetic and regional range of the field. Her research interests include modern and contemporary Latino, Latin American and African American art. Ramos recently curated the exhibition “Tamayo: The New York Years,” (2017) which was the first exhibition to explore the influences between major Mexican modernist Rufino Tamayo and the American art world. She is also currently writing a monograph about Freddy Rodríguez, part of the A Ver: Revisioning Art History book series published by UCLA’s Chicano Studies Research Center. Ramos organized the exhibitions “Down These Mean Streets: Community and Place in Urban Photography” (2017) and “Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art” (2013), which recently completed a multi-city U.S. tour. The accompanying catalogue received a 2014 co-first prize Award for Excellence by the Association of Art Museum Curators. Before joining the museum’s staff, Ramos was an assistant curator for cultural engagement at The Newark Museum and an independent curator. She has curated exhibitions such as “The Caribbean Abroad: Contemporary Artists and Latino Migration” (2003), which featured the work of Nicolas Dumit Estevez, Scherezade Garcia, Miguel Luciano and Juana Valdes, as well as projects with Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Freddy Rodríguez, Paul Henry Ramirez and Chakaia Booker, among others. Ramos was the author of the exhibition catalogs Tamayo: The New York Years, Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art, America’s Pastime: Portrait of the Dominican Dream, Works by Freddy Rodríguez and Cut, Build and Weld: Process in Works by Chakaia Booker as well as catalogue entries for El Museo del Barrio and The University of Texas at Austin’s Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art. She has also published in American Art, African Arts and the New West Indian Guide. Ramos earned a bachelor’s degree from New York University (1988), and a master’s degree (1995) and a doctorate (2011) from the University of Chicago.
