    Tracy Ehrlich

    Profile

     

    Tracy Ehrlich studied art history at Princeton and received her Ph.D from Columbia University.  Trained as an architectural and landscape historian, she has a broad background in the history of art and architecture from the Renaissance into the eighteenth century, with a sub-speciality in the ancient world.  Her first book, titled Landscape and Identity in Early Modern Rome: Villa Culture at Frascati in the Borghese Era (Cambridge University Press), was awarded the Salimbeni prize for best book on Italian art of 2002.  She has received grants for her work from the Kress Foundation, Dumbarton Oaks, and the Graham Foundation.  Her current book project explores the collection of eighteenth-century architectural drawings housed at the Cooper Hewitt Museum, where she teaches in the MA Program as a faculty member of the New School.  Tracy was recently awarded a Smithsonian Institution Senior Fellowship in support of this project, titled Carlo Marchionni’s Eloquent Figures:  Redefining the Early Modern Architectural Drawing.
