Sarah Roberts serves as Andrew W. Mellon Associate Curator of Painting and Sculpture at SFMOMA, where she has directed research initiatives on the museum’s permanent collection since 2004.

She also worked closely with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation; conducted numerous interviews with studio assistants, friends, and colleagues of the artist; and collaborated intensively with SFMOMA’s conservation staff. Prior to joining SFMOMA, Roberts held positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Art Rhode Island School of Design, Providence; and deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts.
