William M. Griswold, Director of The Morgan Library & Museum, announced today the appointment of Linda Wolk-Simon as Charles W. Engelhard Curator and Head of the Morgan’s renowned Department of Drawings and Prints. The Morgan houses one of the world’s finest collections of old master drawings, as well as a growing collection of nineteenth-century and modern works on paper.

Ms. Wolk-Simon was most recently Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she has held a number of positions over more than two decades. A specialist in Italian Renaissance art, she will assume her duties at the Morgan in May. Her appointment concludes a broad, international search.
