Deborah Salomon
Deborah Schorsch received her graduate training in art history and conservation at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts. Her professional focus is the technical study of metalwork and other materials from ancient Egypt. In close collaboration with the Museum’s Egyptian art curators, she has studied ritual statuary, jewelry, and utilitarian implements of gold, silver, bronze, and copper, documenting manufacturing processes and materials in order to define ancient technological styles. She has also lectured and published on ancient and ethnographic metalwork from the Near East, Peru, West Africa, Europe, and India, and on the history of conservation practice at The Met and has participated on excavations and conservation educational initiatives in North and South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia.
