Elizabeth Wyckoff

Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs

Elizabeth Wyckoff has been the Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs at the Saint Louis Art Museum since 2010. Previously, she worked at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College, the New York Public Library, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She received her PhD in art history from Columbia University with a specialization in early 17th-century Dutch printmaking and publishing.

Throughout her career, Elizabeth has organized and co-organized exhibitions of old master to contemporary prints, books, and drawings, on topics ranging from the reception of tobacco in early modern Europe to oversize Renaissance prints; from 16th- and 17th-century Europe to the post-World War II United States. Many of the exhibitions she has organized at the Saint Louis Art Museum relate to transformative acquisitions, including contemporary art from the collection of Ted L. and Maryanne Ellison Simmons; 16th-century prints relating to Hieronymus Bosch (2015); European Renaissance and baroque prints (2017); and abstract works by Black artists (2019).
