Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| Professor Holo's research focuses on Art history and museum studies, but she has become increasingly interested in museology-the study of museums themselves and their influences on the shaping of our culture. She has published and lectured in Spain and Latin America extensively about the future of museums in those regions. Her list of publications reflect her expertise in Goya, Picasso and Ribera, three of Spain's most significiant artists. Professor Holo's research is also concerned with museum architecture and its relationship to the contruction of civic meaning. | |
