\n\tThe Judd Foundation has named Alexandra Cunningham Cameron as director of design, a newly created role. She will begin in the position on April 27.<\/p>\n
\n\tAs director of design, Cameron will oversee the nonprofit foundation\u2019s Donald Judd Furniture LLC, a company established to fabricate Donald Judd\u2019s furniture designs to his original specifications. Currently, Judd Furniture produces more than 70 designs, which are available for custom order.<\/p>\n
\n\tAccording to a press release, Cameron will guide Judd Furniture\u2019s \u201cproduct development, operations, and strategic growth,\u201d while also leading \u201cdesign initiatives that situate Judd\u2019s work within cultural and design conversations with a focus on Judd\u2019s writings and papers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tCameron is currently a curator of contemporary design at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York. At the museum, where she is also its first Hintz Secretarial Scholar, she has organized exhibitions like 2020\u2019s \u201cWilli Smith: Street Couture\u201d on the Black American fashion designer, as well as \u201cMaking Home\u2014Smithsonian Design Triennial\u201d (2024\u201325), which took over the entire museum and featured artists like CFGNY, Hugh Hayden, Joiri Minaya, Sof\u00eda Gallis\u00e1 Muriente, and Amie Siegel.<\/p>\n
\n\tShe also worked with fashion designer Duro Olowu on his 2022 \u201cSelects\u201d exhibition, drawing from the museum\u2019s permanent collection. Among the acquisitions at Cooper Hewitt that she has spearheaded are Tschabalala Self, Dondi White, Amanda Williams, Martha Goddard, and Tobias Wong. She is currently at work on an exhibition of Wong for late 2027 that will feature many of the more 50 major works donated by the late designer\u2019s family. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tPrior to working at Cooper Hewitt in 2018, she started her career at the Design Miami fair in 2007. She was promoted to its creative director in 2012.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cAlexandra brings knowledge and experience to a small organization that does very big things,\u201d Flavin Judd, the foundation\u2019s artistic director told WWD<\/em>. \u201cWe are excited to bring more of Don\u2019s furniture to the world. This will include initiatives and collaborations in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/judd-foundation-alexandra-cunningham-cameron-1234782591\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DJF2.jpg?w=1024″] The Judd Foundation has named Alexandra Cunningham Cameron as director of design, a newly created role.
