Bio/Research
Nancy J. Troy is Victoria and Roger Sant Professor in Art, Department of Art & Art History, at Stanford University. In addition to The De Stijl Environment (MIT Press, 1983), she is the author of Modernism and the Decorative Arts in France: Art Nouveau to Le Corbusier (Yale University Press, 1991), Couture Culture: A Study in Modern Art and Fashion(MIT Press, 2003), and, most recently, The Afterlife of Piet Mondrian(University of Chicago Press, 2013). In this book about Mondrian after his death in 1944, Troy examines the trajectories of the artist's work and legacy as they circulated through the realms of elite and popular culture -- culminating in the creation of what Troy describes as "the Mondrian brand." In the process, Troy exposes the ways in which the dominant historical narrative of Mondrian and his work has been shaped by art-market forces. Her current research focuses on Yves Saint Laurent's Mondrian dresses of 1965, the knock-offs they have generated and the art world they continue to inhabit.
