K.L.H. Wells is an assistant professor of art history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She received her Ph.D. in art history from the University of Southern California. Her research focuses on the interconnections between fine and applied arts, and her book manuscript in progress, Transatlantic Tapestries and the Marketing of Modernism, explores the close relationship between modernist painting and French tapestry in the decades following World War II. Wells was a member of the Textile Project at the University of Zurich and the first Postdoctoral Fellow in the History of Craft at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her publications include “The ‘merely imitative mood’: British Japonisme and Imperial Mimesis,” forthcoming in Nineteenth Century Studies; “Rockefeller’s Guernica and the Collection of Modern Copies,” in Journal of the History of Collections (2014); “Serpentine Sideboards, Hogarth’s Analysis, and the Beautiful Self,” in Eighteenth Century Studies (Spring 2013); and “Artistes contre Liciers: La Renaissance de la Tapisserie Française,” in Decorum (Paris: Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Skira Flammarion, 2013). At Bard Graduate Center, Wells will be completing her book manuscript.
