Stephanie Lebas Huber is a New York–based art historian and curator specializing in modern and contemporary art, with a particular interest in the intersections of art, film, and political visual culture. She is currently a Curatorial Associate at the Princeton University Art Museum. She holds a PhD in Art History from the CUNY Graduate Center and is the author of Dutch Neorealism, Cinema, and the Politics of Painting, 1927–1945 (2025).
Dr. Huber completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2023. She has also held fellowships at the Isamu Noguchi Museum and the Mellon Council for European Studies and was a Fulbright Scholar in the Netherlands.
Her research and curatorial interests span modern and contemporary art, with a particular focus on the ways that artists respond to political polarization and technological change. Her recent book examines the international phenomenon of Magic Realism in the interwar period, exploring how artists negotiated the social and political transformations of the 1920s and 1930s. Her ongoing research and independent exhibition projects extend these interests into the postwar and contemporary periods.
Dr. Huber welcomes inquiries regarding curatorial collaborations, exhibition proposals, and writing commissions.
