Early life edit

Susan Vogel was born in Detroit. She had a parent who worked in the overseas division of General Motors, so she grew up in Beirut, and also lived parts of her early life in Greenwich, Connecticut and Puerto Rico. She attended Georgetown University as an undergraduate. After graduating, she moved to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire after marrying Jerry Vogel, who was sent there on a Fulbright fellowship.[5]

Professional career edit

After her return to the United States in 1966, having "fallen in love with the place and with the art" in Cote d'Ivoire, Vogel worked at the Museum of Primitive Art, founded by Nelson A. Rockefeller, at the same time earning her Ph.D. in art history from New York University. She worked at the Museum of Primitive Art for eight years, during which time she wrote extensively and became an assistant curator. In 1975, after Rockefeller donated the holdings of the Museum of Primitive Art to the Metropolitan Museum of Art where it would be housed in the new Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, Vogel joined the Metropolitan Museum as an associate curator, where she managed the collection and its display through the 1982 opening of the Rockefeller Wing.[5][6]

In 1984, in New York City, she founded the Center for African Art, later the Museum for African Art (and now the Africa Center). While running that museum for ten years, she curated a number of widely praised exhibitions and wrote, co-wrote or published accompanying books.

In 1994, she was named as Director of the Yale Art Gallery. Richard Levin, the President of Yale at the time, said "Susan Vogel is widely respected as an innovator and leader in the museum world. She is a proven institution builder: the museum she founded in New York began as a small center and has grown in just over a decade to a major museum."[6]

Vogel won the 1998 Herskovits Prize for Baule: African Art, Western Eyes,[7] which was later incorporated into a John Edmonds installation at the Brooklyn Museum.[8][9] Among her other notable books and articles are African Aesthetics, and Buli Master and Other Hands.[10] She has also written extensively about the life and art of El Anatsui,[11][12] including El Anatsui: Art and Life in 2020.[13]

In 2004, she was appointed Professor of African art and architecture at Columbia.[14]

Following her career as an art museum leader, Vogel spent two years as a graduate film student at New York University, and became a documentary filmmaker.[14]

Personal life edit

Vogel has lived for long periods of time in Côte d'Ivoire and Mali.[15] She was married to Jerome "Jerry" Vogel from 1964 to 1987.[16] She is now married to Columbia professor Kenneth Prewitt.[17]
