In this centennial year of the International Committee of Historical Sciences (CISH), the International Prize for History is awarded to Anthony Grafton, 2004 Resident and Trustee Emeritus of the American Academy in Rome, and Henry Putnam University Professor of History, Emeritus, at Princeton University. Please join us for a lecture by the prize's 2026 laureate.
The exhibition is a dialogue between two painters: Kamrooz Aram (1978, Shiraz, Iran) and Giorgio Griffa (1936, Turin, Italy), whose work illustrates how abstract painting reverberates across time and space. For the opening, contemporary Italian poets Silvia Bre and Carmen Gallo will read a selection of poems chosen to reflect the themes of the exhibition.
The American Academy in Rome will celebrate Centennial Medal honorees Suzanne Deal Booth, Emily Wilson (2006 Fellow), and Fred Wilson (2020 Resident), at the annual New York Gala on October 29, 2026. The event brings the Academy community together in support of the essential role of the arts and humanities in our societies today.
