The College Art Association recently presented its annual awards to artists and scholars at its conference, held in February in Boston. The Frank Jewett Mather award for distinction in art criticism was presented to two individuals: curator and critic Okwui Enwezor, curator of the current exhibition "Snap Judgments: New Positions in Contemporary African Photography" at the International Center of Photography in New York, and Gregg Bordowitz, whose essays are collected in The AIDS Crisis Is Ridiculous and Other Writings, 1986-2003. The distinguished lifetime achievement award for writing on art was presented to Linda Nochlin. The Alfred H. Barr, Jr., award for museum scholarship went to Elena Phipps, Johanna Hecht and Cristina Esteras Martin for the catalogue that accompanied the exhibition "The Colonial Andes: Tapestries and Silverwork, 1530-1830" at the Metropolitan Museum.

Elizabeth Murray received the distinguished artist award for lifetime achievement, and Andrea Zittel was honored for a distinguished body of work. Virginia Commonwealth University professor Lester Van Winkle and Southern Methodist University professor Annemarie Weyl Cart received the awards for, respectively, distinction in the teaching of art and art history.

The Charles Rufus Morey book award was given to Carol Mattusch for The Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum: Life and Afterlife of a Sculpture Collection. Mitchell B. Merback received the Arthur Kingsley Porter prize, given to an article appearing in the Art Bulletin, for his "Fount of Mercy, City of Blood: Cultic Anti-Judaism and the Pulkau Altarpiece." The Art Journal award went to Mark Cheetham for his essay "Matting the Monochrome: Malevich, Klein, and Now." The award for distinction in conservation was jointly presented to Don Kalec of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and John Thorpe, who heads his own firm. Senator Edward M.
