Adam Duncan Harris, the curator of art at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has been appointed to the position of Grainger/Kerr Director of the Carl Rungius Catalogue Raisonné. This new position and initiative will create a complete catalogue of all of Rungius’ finished paintings. Harris will devote his full attention to the raisonné, and the museum will consider an interim curator of art.

“A raisonné is an extensive undertaking and I consider it a distinct honor to have been selected to perform the work,” says Harris. “After years of working with the Rungius pieces, whose works make up the largest number of pieces in the permanent collection at the museum, I am prepared—and excited—to take this next step in my profession.”
