Project Description

During the Research Fellowship, I will compile a comprehensive exhibition history for Nancy Holt, from 1969–present. With an ever-growing interest in Holt's work, it is imperative to establish an accurate list of her exhibitions and inventory of artworks included in each show. This research project will contribute towards Holt's catalogue raisonné.
