ASSISTANT CURATOR, PANZA COLLECTION

Guggenheim curator since 2004

Ted Mann was appointed Assistant Curator, Panza Collection, in 2010. He is part of a team of curators and conservators working on the Guggenheim’s Panza Collection Initiative, a Mellon Foundation–funded project designed to address issues surrounding the future display and long-term preservation of artworks from the 1960s and 1970s. Mann first joined the Guggenheim in 2001, and has held various positions at the museum, including Assistant Curator for Collections, in which role he was responsible for curating collection exhibitions and researching and writing about the permanent collection for exhibition catalogues, the museum website, and other Guggenheim publications. Exhibitions to which Mann contributed include: The Shapes of Space (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 2007); Passages: Beuys, Darboven, Kiefer, Richter (Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, 2006–07); and Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated): Art from 1951 to the Present (Guggenheim Museum, 2004).

Mann received his BA from Williams College and holds an MA in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. He is currently pursuing his PhD in modern and postwar art history at the Institute of Fine Arts.
