This Practicing Art History feature titled “AHNCA @ 30, Past, Present, and Future” consists of a video recording of an event originally broadcast on Zoom as part of an ongoing Virtual Salon program, co-sponsored by Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide, its parent organization the Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art (AHNCA), and the Dahesh Museum of Art. This program celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of AHNCA and paid tribute to Patricia (Pat) Mainardi, its founder, former president, and recently retired program chair. The video recording begins with an interview of Pat by Roberto C. Ferrari, her former student who served on the AHNCA board, followed by remarks from Amira Zahid, founding trustee of the Dahesh Museum, as well as past and current presidents of AHNCA, Peter Trippi, Gabriel Weisberg, Elizabeth Mansfield, and Nancy Locke. It chronicles the organization over the past thirty years and reveals its essential role in the development and practices of nineteenth-century art history.
