Dr. Christine Poggi, Professor Emerita in the History of Art Department, became the Judy and Michael Steinhardt Director of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University in September 2017. A symposium on March 23, 2018, will recognize her thirty years of service to the University of Pennsylvania. The theme, “Seeing More in the Work of Art,” borrows from the preface of Dr. Poggi’s first book, which describes an approach to the history of art that combines close visual analysis of individual objects with historically-informed methods and the insights of literary and critical theory.
