Bio for Dr. Page Knox
Dr. Page Knox is an adjunct professor in the Art History Department of Columbia University, where she received her PhD in 2012. She works in a variety of capacities as a contractual lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where she gives public gallery talks and lectures in special exhibitions as well as the permanent collection, teaches classes at the museum, and leads groups for art related experiences for the Museum Alliance Program and other travel companies.
Dr. Knox graduated from Yale University with a double major in Art History and Economics. Upon graduation, Page spent her twenties in the financial world. Before returning to graduate school, she worked at the Yale Center for British Art. At Columbia, she received a PhD, with a focus in American Art, while her minor field was Renaissance painting, specifically Leonardo da Vinci. Her dissertation, "Scribner's Monthly 1870-1881: Illustrating a New American Art World," explored the significant expansion of illustration in print media during the 1870s, using Scribner's Monthly as a lens to examine how the medium changed the general aesthetic in American art in the late nineteenth century. She continues to publish and lecture at various conferences on the subject. In addition to her Art Humanities class, she also teaches courses at Columbia that focus on American Art and Global Exchange from the seventeenth through the twentieth century.
