- PhD, MA, and BA in Art History (Institute of Fine Arts, NYU/Washington University in St. Louis)
Solomons’ research explores themes like monument critique, gendered visual narratives, and U.S.-Latin American cultural diplomacy, with a focus on artists such as Marisol. She investigates how art constructs national and transnational imaginaries during periods of political upheaval, including the Cuban Revolution and Alliance for Progress.
Her recent publications span analyses of Marisol’s sculpture The Generals, Cold War-era collecting practices at MoMA, and co-edited journals on gun representation in American visual culture. Awards include grants from the Kress Foundation and the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art.
At Drexel, she teaches courses on Contemporary Art, Latin American Art, and Art and Revolution, while developing a new class on Global Pop Art.
