I met Aimee Ng several years ago and we toured the Frick — where she is now chief curator — together. There is a lot of focus on the dearth of women artists, or more accurately on their underrepresenation in galleries and museums. I would argue the lack of women in curatorial roles has an impact too. Ng made a point of unearthing the stories of the women featured on the Frick’s walls. Here’s a story I wrote on what she found out.
