American artist Florine Stettheimer’s attention to the presentation of her artwork, as embodied by her unique frames and curated displays, are integral to a deeper understanding of the viewing experience she sought to create. Drawing upon diaries, sketchbooks, period photographs, and accounts from her inner circle, this webinar will present the startlingly original frames she designed for her paintings, and evaluate their role in her vision of “Gesamtkunstwerk” — the creation of a unified environment in which her paintings were to be experienced.

Suzanne Smeaton is a pioneer in the study and scholarship of American period frames, framing fine art for museums and collectors over several decades. She is a frequent lecturer at museums across the country, an author on the topic of American frame history, and an instructor for the Appraiser’s Association of America’s Comprehensive Appraisal Studies Program (CASP). Her most recently published article on the frames of Florine Stettheimer appears in the Summer 2025 issue of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s journal American Art.
