Evelyn Byrd Harrison was one of the greatest scholars of our time in the field of Greek sculpture. She earned her Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1952 and taught classics at the University of Cincinnati before joining the faculty at Columbia in 1955. In 1970 she was named professor of art and archaeology at Princeton University, becoming the first woman to be appointed full professor in the department. In 1974 she moved to New York University's Institute of Fine Arts as Professor of the History of Fine Arts. She was Edith Kitzmiller Professor Emerita of the History of Fine Arts and Adjunct Professor at the time of her death on November 3, 2012. She died at home in New York City at the age of 92. Dr. Harrison's publications include The Athenian Agora I: Portrait Sculpture (1953) and Achaic and Archaistic Sculpture (1965). She was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship as well as the Archaeological Institute of America's Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement (1992). When she discussed a well-known piece of Greek sculpture, you felt as though you were seeing it for the first time.
