Linda Dalrymple Henderson (born 1948)[1] is an American art historian, educator, and curator. Henderson is currently the David Bruton, Jr. Centennial Professor in Art History Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin.[2] Her research focuses on modern art, specifically twentieth-century American and European art.[3]

Career

Henderson entered Dickinson College planning to study mathematics, but graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History.[3] She then continued on to Yale University to receive a Master of Arts in 1972 and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1975, both in Art History.[4] Henderson wrote a doctoral dissertation focused on the fourth dimension in art, which was written under the supervision of Robert L. Herbert.[5]

Beginning in her final years at Yale, Henderson held the position of Curator of Modern Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from 1974 to 1977. A year later, she joined the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin, where she would remain for the rest of her career.[2] In 2021, Henderson retired from the school as the David Bruton, Jr. Centennial Professor in Art History Emeritus.

In 1988, Henderson was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.[6] In 1999, the University of Texas gave her their Robert W. Hamilton Book Award for her text on the artist Marcel Duchamp.

In 2008, Henderson curated an exhibition titled "Reimagining Space: The Park Place Gallery Group in 1960s," which focused on the Park Place Gallery, and was shown at the University of Texas at Austin's Blanton Museum of Art.
