Anne Wagner is visual scholar of exceptional range. Her most recent book, Mother Stone: The Vitality of Modern British Sculpture, uncovers a shared preoccupation—maternity—among the British modernists Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Jacob Epstein.
Wagner is currently working on a collection of critical writings that she jestingly calls "a corrective to the interpretive obscurantism and historical obtuseness of much recent criticism." She has published essays and books on Kara Walker, Eva Hesse, Gordon Matta-Clark, Georgia O'Keeffe, and many other artists. Since 1988 Wagner has been a professor of modern and contemporary art history at the University of California at Berkeley.
She holds degrees from Yale University (BA), Brown University (MA), and Harvard University (PhD).
