The Frye Art Museum announced on Thursday that Dr. Rangsook Yoon has been appointed to the newly created role of Senior Director of Curatorial Affairs.
Working with the director and across museum leadership, Yoon will lead a team of six to realize inclusive and rigorous exhibitions; develop interpretive materials that make complex concepts accessible and engaging to broad audiences; and oversee the study, care, growth, and diversification of the Frye’s collection.
Since 2022, Yoon has served as the Senior Curator at Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, leading the curatorial team.
Born and educated in South Korea, she studied French language and literature at Korea University in Seoul before moving to the United States to pursue art history. She earned her MA from Cleveland State University and her PhD from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.
“I’m honored and thrilled to join the Frye,” she said. “It feels as though my three decades working across higher education, academia, and museums in the United States, my adopted country, have led me to this opportunity.”
Yoon will begin her new role in late May 2026.
