Contributing Researchers and Scholars

Mapping Art Histories was envisioned and implemented as a collaborative, international endeavor. With such a broad scope and sweeping research agenda, it was necessary to call on colleagues, graduate and undergraduate students, administrators, educators, and others to contribute data, scholarly perspectives, research assistance, and institutional information. The Team would like to acknowledge the hard work and excellent contributions of these individuals that made this project possible, despite the geographical breadth of the region, the methodological and historical complexities, the challenges in collecting and organizing data, ongoing conflicts, and a global pandemic.

The team would like to thank these research assistants and contributing scholars individually:

The team would also like to acknowledge the generous and enduring support of the Getty Foundation, as well as the administrative assistance of the University of North Texas and the Association for Modern and Contemporary Art of the Arab World, Iran, and Turkey (AMCA).
