Sarah Hamill is professor of modern and contemporary art at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York. Her writing focuses on the histories and aesthetics of modern sculpture, contemporary photography, and photography’s role in the historiography of art. She has explored how the camera translates and transforms the medium of sculpture in David Smith in Two Dimensions: Photography and the Matter of Sculpture (University of California Press, 2015), and, co-edited with Megan R. Luke, the volume Photography and Sculpture: The Art Object in Reproduction (Getty Publications, 2017). At the Clark, she will complete a new book titled “‘The Skin of the Earth’: Mary Miss, Abstract Sculpture, and Feminism in the 1970s,” which offers an account of the intersections between sculptural abstraction, feminist politics, and media in the postwar period.
