-
Kasmin congratulates Diana Al-Hadid on her election to the National Academicians in the Class of 2024. She joins a group of 28 artists and architects elected this year, including Amy Sherald, Sheila Pepe, and others, each recognized for their contributions to contemporary American art and architecture.Current Academicians include Judith Bernstein (NA 2016) and Joel Shapiro (NA 2012), and past members include Jane Freilicher (ANA 1980, NA 1982), Robert Motherwell (ANA 1990), George Rickey (NA 2001), and James Rosenquist (NA 2013).The annual nomination and election of National Academicians dates back to the National Academy’s founding in 1825 as the United States’ first artist- and architect-led organization. New Academicians are nominated and elected by the current members of the National Academy, a growing community of no more than 450 artists and architects across the country.“We’re thrilled to welcome this exceptional class of newly elected Academicians. As the Academy embarks on an exciting new chapter, the induction of these twenty-eight artists and architects—whose diverse and ambitious work captivates across various mediums—powerfully reaffirms our commitment to celebrating bold and visionary contributions to contemporary art and architecture.” – Said Gregory Wessner, Executive Director, National Academy of Design.In addition to providing leadership and vision for the National Academy and its programs and exhibitions, Academicians are also invited to donate a representative work – called the Diploma Work – to the National Academy’s collection. With more than 8,000 paintings, sculpture, works on paper, architectural drawings and models and more, the National Academy’s collection has been assembled almost entirely through the donations of its artists and architect members. It is one of the most significant collections of American art and architecture in the world.
