Exhibitions:

I have contributed four catalogue entries for an exhibition of Sinai Icons held at the Getty Museum in 2006-2007: Holy Image, Hallowed Ground: Icons from Sinai (Los Angeles: Getty Publications, 2006).

Three Icons in the Collection of the Snite Museum of Art, University of Notre Dame (Fall, 2001) This catalogue contains a lengthy introductory essay on the art, history and theology of the icon in Byzantine and post-Byzantine culture. It will also provide the first full publication of the major icons in this collection, making these significant works available to a wider public. The catalogue continues to grow on-line as students work on further icons: http://www.nd.edu/~slidelib/Snite_Icons/

I was the co-selector (with Katrina Kavan) of an exhibition of Bulgarian icons, Icons: Golden Images of Bulgaria shown in Coventry and other centers in the United Kingdom in 1992-1993 (fifteen months at nine centers).
