Dr. Tricia Loscher: Assistant Director & Chief Curator of Scottsdale's Museum of the West - Epi. 138, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Dr. Tricia Loscher and I did a podcast back in December, 
I've been fortunate enough to be a co-curator with Tricia on the
major Maynard Dixon exhibit "Maynard Dixon's American West" and
she wrote the foreword for my Dixon book.  That Maynard
Dixon exhibit is hanging at the Scottsdale Museum of the West and
will run through August 2021. If you haven't visited the
Scottsdale Museum of the West, just know it's a great museum and
has a wonderful collection of artistic and anthropological
material. 

It was really interesting to hear about Dr. Loscher's love of
museums and her desire to be a curator at age 7. She was also
involved in art and could've gone that direction if the
circumstances were slightly different, but culture and curation
were what she was ultimately called to study. You don't get the
opportunity to find somebody who is so honed in on their
profession very often so this podcast if you're interested in
curation and want to know what the museum world is all about,
gives us a nice insight into the inner-workings of one of the
best Western museums in the country. Dr. Loscher clearly loves
what she does and she was a joy to work with as a co-curator on
the Dixon exhibit and to have as a guest on this edition of Art
Dealer Diaries.
