Graduate Student

Clarisse joined the Department of History of Art and Architecture in September 2014 as a PhD student under the supervision of Professor Kirk Savage. Her research interests encompass the study of artistic exchanges, the history of the art market, and connoisseurship in the nineteenth-century, with a particular focus on sculpture. Her master’s thesis explored questions of transnationalism and cultural transfers brought about by the migration of Spanish sculptors from Madrid and Barcelona to Paris at the turn of the 20^th century.

Clarisse received her M.A. in Art History from the Université Paris Ouest Nanterre-La Défense, and her B.A. in Art History from the Université Sorbonne (Paris IV). She has worked at the Getty Research Institute, the National Gallery of Art, and the National Institute of Art History (INHA).
