Scholarship

By providing funding, artwork photography, archival materials, and editorial assistance, the O’Brien Art Foundation supports the publication of scholarship invested in broadening art historical understandings and centering the artists, works, and narratives related to the collections.

In addition to commissioning new texts and publications focused on the work in our collections and related areas of art history, the Foundation is actively engaged in supporting forms of scholarship that include academic talks and panel discussions at accredited venues, convenings of academics and curators in the field, and electronic publishing hosted on our own website.
