Summer 2019-2020

Lisa Ellis is the conservator of sculpture and decorative arts at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). With Sasha Suda, she co curated the AGO’s ground-breaking and award-winning exhibition “Small Wonders: Miniature Gothic Boxwood Carvings.” Ellis’ most recent technical research focuses on a Northern European, early sixteenth century wooden polychrome figure. The Clark Fellowship will allow Ellis and Suda to research the bronze casting techniques of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and, in particula,r those used in the execution of the AGO’s Corpus Christi.
