Vivien Greene specializes in European modernism with a concentration in Italian art. Most recently, she cocurated The Vorticists: Rebel Artists in London and New York, 1914–1918 (2010–11). Among the exhibitions she has curated are Utopia Matters: from Brotherhoods to Bauhaus (2010) and Divisionism/Neo-Impressionism: Arcadia and Anarchy (2007). She is currently planning the large-scale exhibition Italian Futurism, 1909–1944 (2014). In June 2012, she published an article on ethnographer Giuseppe Pitrè for the Journal of Modern Italian Studies; her forthcoming publications include a chapter on fine secolo Italian magazines for Oxford University Press’s Modernist Magazines series. Greene presents papers regularly at the College Art Association conference as well as other scholarly symposia. Her fellowships include a Fulbright, a Rome Prize, and a Bogliasco residency. She holds a PhD in Nineteenth-Century European Art History from the Graduate Center, CUNY.
