Spotlight Tour: Self-Reflective Portraits, with Emma Fang ’25

On this tour, Emma Fang ’25 will investigate the strange way that representations of other people can become revealing portraits of the artist. The stops on the tour are Thomas Eakins’s portrait Miss Alice Kurtz (1903); Girl sitting on her bed with her shirt off, N.Y.C. (1968), a photograph by Diane Arbus, printed by Neil Selkirk; and Head of a priest or vizier, a stone sculpture made in ancient Egypt (1390–1352 BCE).

Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens.
