J. Cabelle Ahn is an independent art historian and PhD candidate in History of Art & Architecture at Harvard University where she specializes in eighteenth-century French drawings and prints. Her dissertation is titled "Multiple Exposures: Drawings, Displays, and their Spaces in Eighteenth-century France," and the project offers a comprehensive analysis of early exhibition practices in response to increasing public access to drawings, and the corresponding rise of the secondary market for drawings. 

​

Her interest in French art and Old Master drawings began during her gap year in Paris in 2007. She majored in Art History at Wellesley College ('12) and holds MA degrees from the Courtauld Institute of Art ('13) and the Bard Graduate Center ('15). Her additional fields of specialization include new media art, the history of the art market, and strategies through which contemporary artists revisit and reinterpret the old masters.

​

She is currently based in Brooklyn, NY.
