Art & Art History PhD candidate Elizabeth A. Spear has received a Junior Fellowship from the Frick Center for the History of Collecting.
The Center for the History of Collecting was established at the Frick Art Reference Library in 2007 to “encourage and support the study of the formation of collections of fine and decorative arts, both public and private, in Europe and the United Stated from the Renaissance to the present day,” according to its website.
The Center’s Scholars’ Program awards fellowships to support research that addresses wide-ranging aspects of the history of collecting in the U.S. from Colonial times to the present, as well as in Europe.
Spear is a grad student in the School of Art & Art History, part of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.
