The Alexander Klebanoff Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Art History senior project was awarded to Patricia Manos.  Her project, “Strong in Our Weakness:” Yael Batana’s Strategies for Living with Ghosts (Advisor: Julia Rosenbaum) demonstrated extensive scholarship and daring originality in the area of modern art in the class of 2012.  The project is a study of the Israeli-Dutch artist Yael Bartana’s video trilogy “…and Europe will be Stunned,” which was completed for the 2011 Venice Biennale. Yael Batana was the first non-Polish artist chosen to represent Poland at its national pavilion.

Art History major Christopher Richards ’12 won two of the most prestigious awards at Bard College for his senior project titled The Age of Tears: Rogier van der Weyden’s Descent from the Cross and its Lachrymose Contexts (Adviser, Susan Merriam).  Christopher received the  Cristina Duarte Prize for Medieval Literature and the Wilton Moore Lockwood Prize for Best Critical Senior Project. Congratulations to Christopher on this spectacular achievement!
