10 and he has contributed his expertise to this publication. Gary Tinterow provided crucial support throughout the development of the exhibition, including backing the 2019 acqui- sition by the Museum of Amaral’s Columna en pasteles (Column in Pastels) (1972, p. 55). Throughout the conception and execution of the exhibition and catalogue, many people played invaluable roles. Our sincere thanks go to Heather Brand, head of publications at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, for her early leadership in this project. This catalogue would also not have been possible without the expert and patient guidance from Megan Smith, senior editor. For the exhibition, we extend thanks to our lenders and colleagues at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Museum of Arts and Design, and the Racine Art Museum. The team at Cranbrook Art Museum contributed their extensive knowledge and skills to the creation of this retrospective. We extend our gratitude to Steffi Duarte, the former Jeanne and Ralph Graham Collections Fellow, who seeded the idea for this exhibition and provided initial research. The project was enhanced by the diligent work of Isabella Achenbach, curatorial affairs manager, Kathryn Goffnett, curatorial intern, and Ian Gabriel Wilson, the current Jeanne and Ralph Graham Collections Fellow. The staff at the library of Cranbrook Academy of Art, led by Judy Dyki and her colleagues Mary Beth Kreiner and Rachel Pontious, proved to be ever resourceful in our research pursuits. Vital to the project’s success was our development team, in particular Autumn Parrott, Michael Stachowiak, and Alexis Weisbrod. Jon Geiger, head preparator and exhibitions designer, Corey Gross, reg- istrar, and Wade Tullier, assistant preparator, were integral to translating Amaral’s work into a stunning exhibition format. Its activation came alive through education initiatives spear- headed by Sarah Doty, associate curator of public programs and interpretation, and Kelly Lyons, curator of education. Julie Fracker, director of communications, and her colleague Amanda Coe worked tirelessly and thoughtfully on promoting the project to broad audi- ences. As curators, we both share immense gratitude to filmmaker Andrew Miller, who joined us in Bogotá to capture the words, images, and atmosphere of all that Amaral has created. Lastly, this project would not have been possible without the support of the Cranbrook Board of Governors, under the leadership of Jennifer Gilbert, and our Museum Committee, led by chair Frank Edwards, and the generosity of longtime Cranbrook patrons Maxine and Stuart Frankel.
