Cheryl Finley  I am an Associate Professor in the History of Art Department at Cornell University as well as an art critic, columnist and curator

specializing in photography, African American art, cultural heritage tourism and the politics of memorialization. Prior to my appointment at Cornell,

I was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Art at Wellesley College and an adjunct curator at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center.

In spring 2012, I will be teaching the Introduction to Visual Studies as part of my duties as Acting Director of the undergraduate Visual Studies Minor. 

Beginning in 2007, several new scholarly texts, films, and indices began to appear with a focus on the Contemporary Art Market. As an art appraiser

and art consultant, I utilized my expertise to design the Art Market as an upper-level, undergraduate/graduate art history seminar in Fall 2009. This

is the second time the course is being offered as a distance learning, on-line course.
