Martha Ward’s current research focuses on the reception of art in exhibition and museum spaces, particularly in modern France. Her forthcoming book, 'Art Show', published by the University of Chicago Press, examines museological practices at the Louvre and how they intersect with aesthetic, social, and political developments of the 20th century. She studies the creation of art in relation to both real and imagined destinations, highlighting figures such as Pissarro and movements including Neo-impressionism and Avant-Garde. In her teaching, she regularly offers the course 'Museums and Art', which investigates the changing relationship between artistic production and museum exhibitions over the past centuries, while emphasizing the significance of local collections. She has received several awards, including the Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and the Faculty Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching and Mentoring.
