The Chrysler Museum of Art welcomes Corey Piper, Ph.D., as the Brock Curator of American Art. An art historian specializing in 19th-century and early 20th-century American art, Piper brings a breadth of curatorial knowledge to the Museum. “Corey’s knowledge and experience in 19th-century art and culture match so well with the strengths of our collection, including his focus on painting and the natural world. We are so pleased to have him join the Chrysler team,” said Chrysler Museum Director Erik Neil. Piper holds a doctorate from the University of Virginia, with a dissertation on imagery of hunting in 19th century American art. He holds a master’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina.
