   According to Antonia Bostr,m, an assistant curator at the Detroit Institute of Arts, painting is more popular with both the public and specialists. "People have to be taught how to look at sculpture," she says. As the editor of The Encyclopedia of Sculpture, she knows well the dearth of scholarship, especially for non-Western works.

   Ms. Bostr,m comes to the Getty with more than 20 years of experience, having held curatorial positions in the United Kingdom at the National Portrait Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Royal Academy of Arts.
