Berkowitz feels a close association
with the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA).
"When I was at the University of
Michigan, the history courses that I
took used the resources of the DIA,"
he explained. "I remember so many
exhibitions that I'd see with a class. In
other classes, we'd analyze the ways
pieces were installed and lit."
Berkowitz decided he wanted to go
into museum work while living and
working in Europe between his junior
and senior years in college. He chose
to attend U-M because it had a mas-
ter's program in art history for people
contemplating museum careers and
because he could work with an
instructor who had experience specifi-
cally in European decorative arts.
"My dissertation on an early 19th-
century silversmith was the first deco-
rative arts dissertation that the
r
department had," Berkowitz said.

Many changes have taken place at
the art center during the years that
Berkowitz has been employed.
"There have been physical and
psychological changes," he said.
