Exhibition Catalogue Award Recipients
Competition for the 2023 ALAA-Thoma Foundation Exhibition Catalogue Award
The Association for Latin American Art (ALAA), an affiliate of the College Art Association (CAA), is pleased to sponsor the Thoma Foundation Exhibition Catalogue Award. The award will be presented to the lead author or authors of an especially distinguished exhibition catalogue of Latin American or Latinx art, from the Pre-Columbian era to the present, published under the auspices of a museum, library, or collection. The award is generously funded by the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation and consists of a $1,000 honorarium. We will present the award at the CAA annual meeting in February 2023. The name of the recipient(s) will appear in the newsletters of both ALAA and CAA.
For the February 2023 Award, we will evaluate exhibition catalogues on Latin American or Latinx art from the Pre-Columbian era to the present that meet the following criteria:
- Publication date between September 1, 2021 and August 31, 2022.
- Catalogues may be written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
- Single or multi-authored exhibition catalogues with a substantive text that advances art historical knowledge will be considered
A three-person committee of accomplished art historians and curators, each with expertise in a wide geographical and temporal range, will evaluate the entries.
