My primary research is "Collecting Turner in America: Auctions and Audiences, 1876-1920" as Levy Senior Fellow at The Frick Collection. I also work on the history of collecting in America, and have recently studied and written about the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, PA. My new book, Georgia O'Keeffe, has been published in the Critical LIves series from Reaktion Books (London, UK). At Brandeis University, I teach courses that involve both theory and practice as I pursue my own interests in museums, collections and the art market. One is entitled "Economics and the Arts" which I teach with an economist, Prof. Katy Graddy, and the other is "Museum Studies," coordinated with the rich holdings of the Rose Art Museum and its staff. My teaching spans survey courses of modernism to advanced seminars in 19th century art, both American and European.
