Natalie Kampen Memorial Celebration

The Barnard community is deeply saddened by the recent death of Professor Emerita Natalie Kampen, a pioneering scholar of art history and gender. As a member of Barnard’s faculty for two decades, Prof. Kampen chaired women’s studies for many years and established strong foundations for the current department of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at the College. She was the inaugural occupant of the Barbara Novak Chair in Art History at Barnard as well as a valued member of the graduate faculty in art history at Columbia. Internationally recognized in her field, Prof. Kampen’s research focused on Roman art and architecture of the imperial period. She was the author and editor of several books, most recently Family Fictions in Roman Art (Cambridge, 2009). After her retirement from Barnard in 2010, she continued to mentor graduate students at Columbia and Brown University, where she had received her PhD years before.
