My research interests focuses on the creation, display and reception of Italian art at mid-century (ca. 1930s-1950s). In particular, I look at Italian sculpture’s relationship to a development of a post-war modern European sculptural aesthetic and how larger geo-poiltical shifts shaded aesthetics, exhibition design and art critical choices.
