Saint Louis Art Museum Promotes Hannah Klemm

Hannah Klemm has been promoted to associate curator of modern and contemporary art at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

Klemm joined the museum as an assistant curator in 2016, and has curated several presentations of the museum’s Currents and New Media Series programs, and the exhibitions “Kehinde Wiley: Saint Louis” and “Rachel Whiteread.”

“Visitors to the museum’s contemporary exhibitions and collection galleries have been the beneficiaries of Hannah’s insights and perspective,” said Simon Kelly, curator of modern and contemporary art at SLAM. “Her research specialty in 20th- and 21st-century German art is also an excellent complement to the museum’s collection.”

Klemm was previously the Fisher Collection graduate curatorial fellow at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where she has worked on the contemporary German art collection. She holds a doctorate from the University of Chicago, a master’s degree in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art, and a bachelor’s degree in art history, with honors, from Sarah Lawrence College. Klemm has received several fellowships and awards, including a 10-month research fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service at Humboldt University in Berlin.
