Draft:Diane Waldman

Diane Waldman (born February 24, 1936) is an American museum curator, art historian and author. She worked for the Guggenheim Museum from 1965 to 1996, starting as a staffer and eventually becoming senior curator. She has published criticism on artists including Roy Lichtenstein, Max Ernst, Mark Rothko, Jenny Holzer, Willem de Kooning and Joseph Cornell.

Her extensive research on artist Joseph Cornell led to her further study what is termed the "found object," or scavenged collage art, which she examined in her 1992 publication Collage, Assemblage, and the Found Object. She also published a well-received book on Cornell entitled Joseph Cornell: Master of Dreams in 2002.
