Over the years, I have worked on many special exhibitions and gallery installations of Egyptian and Ancient Near Eastern Art and have been fortunate to work with a number of exceptional curators, designers, and conservators. Some of the following are exhibitions I have participated in.
Recent Exhibitions
The Albany Institute of History & Art hosted the exhibition From the Hudson to the Nile: Dows Dunham and the Archaeology of Egypt and Sudan, which was on view from November 8, 2025, through May 3, 2026. The exhibition celebrated the remarkable career of Dows Dunham (1890–1984), a Hudson Valley–born archaeologist whose pioneering fieldwork in Egypt and Sudan and dedicated scholarship as a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston transformed the field and continues to shape the study and preservation of ancient civilizations today.
A video to accompany the exhibition was produced by Luis Dechtiar, a noted filmmaker and great-grandson of Dows Dunham.
