Tim Barringer is the Paul Mellon Professor of the History of Art at Yale University, specializing in British art since 1700, British Empire visual culture, and 19th-century American art. He holds degrees from the University of Cambridge (B.A.), New York University (M.A.), and the University of Sussex (D.Phil.). Prior to Yale (since 1998), he held positions at the Victoria and Albert Museum and UK universities. Notable roles include Slade Professor at Cambridge (2009) and a J. Clawson Mills Fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2013-14).
His research interrogates colonialism’s impact on art, Victorian labor representations, and transatlantic artistic exchanges. Major publications include Men at Work (2005), Art and the British Empire (2007), and Thomas Cole’s Journey (2018). He has curated high-profile exhibitions like Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde (2012-13) and Thomas Cole’s Journey (2018). Over 30 Ph.D. students have been advised under his mentorship, and he served as Chair of Yale’s History of Art Department until 2021.
Barringer’s recent work addresses decolonial art historiography, as seen in his 2022 Art Bulletin article co-authored with Charlene Villaseñor Black. He is a leading voice in globalizing art history, advocating for postcolonial perspectives through writings like “Art History is a Global Discipline” (2020) and curatorial projects bridging historical and contemporary contexts.
