The IFA Honorary Fellowship recognizes distinguished scholars in art history, conservation and related disciplines, or outstanding figures in the visual arts. This award acknowledges their contribution to learning, teaching, and practice in these fields.

In the academic year 2011-2012, we welcome our inaugural Honorary Fellow, Carol Mancusi-Ungaro. Mancusi-Ungaro serves as Associate Director of Conservation and Research at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Founding Director of the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art at the Harvard Art Museum. In 1990, Mancusi-Ungaro initiated the invaluable Artist Documentation Program. In this project, she interviews artists about the technical nature of their art, resulting in a video archive to serve current and future conservators and scholars.
