Judith K. Zilczer is an American art historian and former museum curator. She is known for her work with artists such as Horace Pippin, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Willem de Kooning,[1] and Richard Lindner.[2] Zilczer was interested in the connections between music and art, which she described as "the mystical strain of artistic synesthesia."[3] She curated an exhibit titled "Visual Music: Synaesthesia in Art and Music Since 1900".[4][5] Zilczer served at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (HMSG) in various capacities from 1974-2003. In 1978, she organized for the Hirshhorn Museum "The Noble Buyer:" John Quinn Patron of the Avant-Garde, a detailed account of one of the most important collections of modern art assembled in the early years of the 20th Century (which was disseminated after Quinn's death in 1924).[6] From 1992 to 2003, she was Curator of Paintings.
Her papers are held by the Smithsonian Institution Archives.[2][7][8]
