Hannah Klemm named Milton Fine Curator of Art at The Andy Warhol Museum

The Andy Warhol Museum has announced that Hannah Klemm has been named its new Milton Fine Curator of Art. Klemm is currently curator of modern and contemporary art at the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin. She will join The Warhol on 17 August 2026.

Before joining the Blanton Museum of Art, Klemm served as associate curator of modern and contemporary art at the Saint Louis Art Museum. She also held curatorial fellowships at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago.

As curator of modern and contemporary art at the Blanton Museum of Art, Klemm organised exhibitions, commissions, publications and public programmes, while stewarding the museum’s contemporary collection. Her most recent exhibition, Run the Code: Data-Driven Art Decoded by Thoma Foundation X Blanton Museum of Art, presented digital art that uses coding, data or artificial intelligence to interact with museum visitors.

At the Saint Louis Art Museum, Klemm oversaw Currents, a long-running series commissioning new work by living artists, and the New Media Series, dedicated to single-channel video. She also co-organised The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century with the Baltimore Museum of Art.

The international touring exhibition examined mass culture, celebrity, branding and artistic production through a collaborative, multimedia presentation. It integrated local partnerships and community engagement into its exploration of hip hop’s impact on contemporary art and culture.

Klemm received a BA in art history and visual arts, with a concentration in printmaking, from Sarah Lawrence College; an MA in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art; and a PhD in art history from the University of Chicago.
