Christina Ramberg is best known for her stylized paintings of fragmented female bodies. Throughout her brief but productive career, she also created or absorbed an enormous breadth of source material that fueled her artistic practice. Thea Liberty Nichols, co-curator of the exhibition Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective and volume editor of the accompanying exhibition catalogue, discusses her research into the life and work of Ramberg, and the never-before-published diaries, sketchbooks, slides, and ephemera presented within the book.
