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.
