Zsofi Valyi-Nagy, PhD

Welcome to my web site. I built it myself on neocities.org :)

I am an artist, writer, and art historian interested in the relationship between art, technology, gender, and disability. I received my Ph.D. in art history from the University of Chicago in 2023, with a dissertation titled “Vera Molnar’s Programmed Abstraction: Computer Graphics and Geometric Abstract Art in Postwar Europe.” I am working on publishing my dissertation as a book. I spent the 2023-24 academic year as a postdoctoral scholar in residence at the Getty Research Institute. I am based in Los Angeles and am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in Art History at Scripps College in Claremont, CA.

Here's a picture of me and my service dog, Bob Ross, taken by Cassia Davis at the Getty in 2024.

A thirty-something white woman with blond hair and bangs, wearing a teal jumpsuit and metal ring splints on her hands, standing against tan travertine stone. She has a bright pink leash around her torso, attached to a red-and-white miniature poodle wearing a denim service dog vest.
