[edit | edit source]

Chaffee attended Ithaca College;[6] followed by study at Courtauld Institute of Art where she received a M.A. degree; and the New York University Institute of Fine Arts where she received a Ph.D. in 2013.[7] Her dissertation was Décors: Marcel Broodthaers's Late Exhibition Practice, 1974-1975, and her advisor was Robert Storr.[8]

Biography

[edit | edit source]

Chaffee was Assistant Curator at the Yale University Art Gallery from 2010 to 2013 in New Haven;[9][10] and held curatorial positions at the Museum of Modern Art from 2007 to 2008 in New York City and the Cleveland Museum of Art from 2001 to 2004.[11][7]

In 2023, Chaffee curated Marisol: A Retrospective (in 2023–2025), the largest posthumous survey of the artist's work.[12] The exhibition was largely drawn from Marisol's bequest of more than 700 artworks, her papers, and her copyright to the Buffalo AKG in 2016.[13] In Buffalo, Chaffee oversees the museum's stewardship of Marisol's estate.[14] In this role, she completed the Aspen Institute's Seminar on Strategy for Artist-Endowed Foundation Leaders in 2025.[15]

In 2024-25, Chaffee curated Stanley Whitney: How High the Moon,[16] Whitney's first retrospective. This project was preceded by Stanley Whitney: the Italian Paintings (in 2022), (co-curated by Chaffee and Vincenzo de Bellis) an installation of works made by Stanley Whitney in Italy since the 1990s and an official collateral event of the 59th Venice Biennale.[17]

Other notable exhibitions include Introducing Tony Conrad: A Retrospective (in 2018),[18] the first large-scale museum survey devoted to artworks Conrad presented in museum and gallery settings, and part of an ongoing reappraisal of his creative achievement;[19] Joe Bradley (in 2017);[20] Clyfford Still / Mark Bradford (in 2016);[21] Erin Shirreff (in 2016);[22] Eija-Liisa Ahtila: Ecologies of Drama (from 2015 to 2016);[23] Screen Play: Life in an Animated World (in 2015);[24] Overtime: The Art of Work (in 2015);[25] and Looking at Tomorrow: Light and Language from The Panza Collection, 1967–1990 (from 2015 to 2016).[4]

She was awarded a Curatorial Fellowship from the VIA Art Fund in 2018;[11] and a Fulbright Fellowship in 2008 to Belgium.[6]
