The Getty Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies have announced the recipients of the second annual Getty/ACLS Fellowships in the History of Art.

Through the program, ten postdoctoral researchers will each receive a $60,000 stipend (and an additional $5,000 for research and travel expenses) to produce a major piece of scholarly work that contributes to the understanding of art and its history. At the end of their fellowships, recipients will convene at the Getty for a week-long residency.

The latest cohort of fellows includes Angelina Lucento (Higher School of Economics in Moscow), who is at work on a manuscript, Moving the Masses: Painting and Communication From Budapest to Bishkek, 1918-1941, that explores the evolution of early twentieth-century mass media communication and visual culture; Kyrah Malika Daniels (Boston College), whose The Art That Heals: Spiritual Illness and Sacred Arts of the Black Atlantic investigates the role of sacred art objects in mediating relationships between humans and spirits in modern central African and Caribbean healing ceremonies; and Steffen Zierholz (Bibliotheca Hertziana, Max-Planck-Institut für Kunstgeschichte), whose Demons, Minerals, and Media-Specificity: The Subterranean as a Productive Force in Early Modern Naples is based on his research of early seventeenth-century depictions of demons in connection to the use of copper and stone as support media.
