Dedalus Foundation announces appointment of Katy Rogers as next President and CEO

January 6, 2025 – The Dedalus Foundation has appointed Katy Rogers as its next President and CEO. Ms. Rogers has held several positions since joining the Foundation in 2003. As Programs Director, she has worked closely with stakeholders to advance the Foundation’s mission by supporting scholars, artists, curators, students, and institutions, and to foster community growth and cultural exchange through numerous grantmaking and public programs. As the Director of the Foundation’s Catalogue Raisonné project, she authored the catalogue raisonné of Robert Motherwell’s drawings (Yale, 2022) and co-authored the catalogue raisonné of his paintings and collages (Yale, 2012). As a renowned scholar of the life and work of Motherwell, she also co-authored the book, Motherwell: 100 Years (Skira, 2015).

“Katy Rogers is both a gifted administrator and a distinguished scholar of Robert Motherwell’s work,” said outgoing President Jack Flam. “During more than two decades with Dedalus, she has expanded the range and depth of the Foundation’s programs and has been in the forefront of research on all aspects of Motherwell’s work and on artists’ legacies in general.”

“I am honored to lead the Dedalus Foundation into its next phase, building on Robert Motherwell’s uniquely expansive vision to promote engagement with modernism and the arts by emphasizing access, education, and dialogue,” said Rogers.

Katy Rogers has published and lectured widely on issues related to catalogues raisonnés, artist-endowed foundations, and the life and work of Robert Motherwell. She is a graduate of the University of Colorado and Hunter College, and an alumna of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Study Program. Rogers served as President of the Catalogue Raisonné Scholars Association from 2013 to 2021 and currently serves on the boards of the Dedalus Foundation, the College Art Association, the Emily Mason and Alice Trumbull Mason Foundation, and is a member of the National Advisory Board of the Laundromat Project.
