The award is named in honor of one of the early advocates of excellence
in museum publications, Mitchell A. Wilder (1913-1979), founding director
of the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth. Beginning with primarily late
nineteenth-century Western art, he helped build the collection of paintings
and sculpture to include a wide cross-section of American masterpieces.
Wilder was largely responsible for establishing the Museum's active publications
program, active exhibition calendar, and instituting the photography collection--one
of the country's largest. Throughout his career Wilder strove for excellence
and quality--especially in museum publications. Texas Association
