*Dr. **Ruth Barnes, *currently Textiles Curator at the Ashmolean Museum,
Oxford, has accepted the invitation to join the staff of the Yale
University Art Gallery as the new* Curator of Indo-Pacific Art. *

The collection of Pacific Arts for which this department will be
established is a new promised gift from one of the world's most renowned
private collectors of this area. It consists of indigenous sculpture,
masks, and architectural ornaments primarily from the islands of
Southeast Asia as well as textiles from Indonesia.

Dr. Barnes will begin her appointment in the fall of 2009, and will have
the opportunity to create a department under the aegis of the department
of Asian art and to design and mount a permanent installation in a large
designated gallery, as a part of the Art Gallery's ambitious project of
renovation and expansion.

For information on Dr. Barnes' research and background, you can visit

Professor Joseph Errington <mailto:j.errington at yale.edu> represented the
Southeast Asia Studies Council on the Search Committee for this
position, and can answer any questions regarding the appointment and the
gift collection.
