Art History Faculty Lecture with Mark Abbe | Topics in Antiquity

Join the audience for an Art History Faculty Lecture with Associate Professor Mark Abbe, who will present “Topics in Antiquity”. Lecture details forthcoming.

Abbe received his PhD in Greek and Roman Art and Archaeology (New York University, Institute of Fine Arts) and has an Advanced Certificate in the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (Conservation Center, New York University). At the University of Georgia, Abbe teaches a full complement of undergraduate and graduate courses on ancient Mediterranean art, architecture, and visual history. He approaches works of art as expressions of culture that are best elucidated by situating them within their historical, social, and philosophical contexts. He has been involved in archaeological fieldwork in the Mediterranean (including Italy, Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt) and he has received research fellowships from multiple institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the American School of Classical Studies, the Getty Research Institute, and the Gerda Henkel Stiftung. With scientific colleagues in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, he oversees the multidisciplinary Ancient Polychromy Network and he is associated faculty in the Department of Classics.
